RESUMO

On the countryside of Goias was built a barrier across the waterway of the Tocantins river in order to make feasible the construction of Serra da Mesa Hydroeletric Power Station, whose dam resulted on a lake around 1.780 km long. The mentioned area covers, partly, eight towns fron that state, which are part of a region of historical occupation that represents important archaeological sites that are today testimonies of the colonial period: pioneers occupation which presents important evidences of mining and farming areas and old villages and towns. Furthermore, it is a region nowadays that is not very dynamic according to economical aspects, and not very notable concerning to the whole the country. So that, the historical archaeological patrimony that would be lost with the lake formation, has passed by a process of rescue that was only possible due to an agreement between FURNAS Power Company and UFMG. The historical archaeological rescue happened during a 3-year-non-stop field-work, in which an extremely rich cultural patrimony was found and that it utters to be published not only to reach academic levels but also the Brazilian society in general.
