RESUMO

This project makes a study about the prehistoric occupations of making pottery groups of the Upper São Francisco Carstic Province, in the southwest portion of the Minas Gerais State. Two archaeological sites had been selected for excavations, this selection was preceded by systematic surveys which attempted to the topographic and landscapes aspects of each place visited. A range of commons characters between the so called pottery traditions Una and Sapucaí, emerges from a technical and stylistic study of the potsherds collected in each one of these sites. Radiocarbon dates gained from collected charcoals in both sites were very important in a way of situate these cultural manifestations in a chronological scale. We made a etnohistory survey for the region, thence a number of national and international studies presents the Upper São Francisco as an area under the domination of the "dreadful Cataguá nation", which had been occupied along the XVI and XVII centuries. I claim for a straight connection between these two pottery traditions, based on a rank of data achieved with such different stages of investigation.
