          Abstract

          O povoamento inicial da América do Sul não foi um processo homogêneo. Em termos cronológicos, as evidências apontam para a ocupação de diversas regiões já em fins do Pleistoceno e início do Holoceno, com datas anteriores ou ao menos contemporâneas ao Horizonte Clóvis na América do Norte. Entre doze mil e oito mil anos ap o leste da América do Sul já se encontrava ocupado por uma população estável de caçadores-coletores, caracterizada por diversificadas estratégias de adaptação aos processos de transformação das paisagens Holocênicas. Neste texto apresentamos uma hipótese segundo a qual esse contexto pode ser mais bem entendido se concebermos que o processo de povoamento das Terras Baixas Sul-Americanas incorporou os vales dos grandes rios como rotas para o interior do continente. Nossa intenção é realçar o potencial do contexto arqueológico brasileiro para construção e teste de hipóteses que contribuam para a discussão sobre o processo de povoamento da América do Sul.

          Translated abstract

          The initial colonization of South American Lowlands was not a homogeneous process, neither in chronological, nor in spatial or cultural terms, and different regions were not occupied simultaneously and under the same dynamic. In chronological terms the available data are indicating to an occupation for different regions during Terminal Pleistocene and Early Holocene, showing dates that were ancient or t least contempoaneous to Clovis Horizon in North America. Between 12,000 and 8,000 14C yrs BP, Eastern South American lowlands was occupied by a stable population of hunter-gatherers characterized by diversified adaptative strategies to the processes of Holocenic landscape transformation. In this paper we present an hypothesis arguing that this context could be better understood if we conceive that the peopling process of lowland South America have incorporated that valley of principal Rivers as routes to the continental inland. Our intention is to highlight the brazilian archaeological context potential to build and test hypothesis that could contribute to the discussion about peopling process of South America.
