RESUMO

The presence of solid wastes as an integrant and inevitable part in the life of the human being, characterizes it as an important agent of interaction in the most diverse sectors of activity. From a holistic vision, we relate the wastes to issues such as education, citizenship, health, sanitation, energy and environment, through knowledge areas as anthropology, engineering, chemistry, biology, economy, sociology and also archaeology. The purpose of this work is to show how techniques of archaeological intervention and interpretation can assist in the understanding on historical, social, cultural, economic and environmental questions related to the municipal solid wastes, aiming at to find information that guide its management in a specific generating source. Supporting our analysis the methodology of archaeological inquiry applied for the study of case in the Volta Fria landfill of the city of Mogi das Cruzes in Sao Paulo state, will be presented.
