RESUMO

In its history, the municipality of São Sebastião, located at the north costal zone of the State of São Paulo, was the stage of uncountable environmental transformations, mainly after the end of the XVIth century, when the first waves of European settlers disembarked in the region, introducing new customs as well as printing their signals of occupation in the landscape. Despite the constant alteration and re-appropriation of the urban space and rural zones, there are cultural reminiscences that, based on archaeological research, have revealed significative information about past cultural landscapes. In this case, the archaeological site known as São Francisco is an impressive instance of that, and constituted by an architectonic and constructive complex in which the units are associated with a XIXth century agricultural property, the very object of study in this PhD dissertation. In general terms, this research is focused on landscape archaeology with the priority to understand the implantation scenario of this archaeological site. At this point, it was selected the use of technologies to read the historical process of man-envrionment interaction based on a wide spectrum vision, and also analyzing the environment artificial-transformative processes that took place. Additionally, the main characteristics of the landscape during the time of site occupation are revealed.
