RESUMO

The Bandeirista Houses, considered as the rural headquarters built around the Piratininga village during the 17th and 18th centuries, are herein re-examined from the point of view of Archaeology. Following the analysis of its building components and archaeological remains, this work discusses some long-time established ideas within the literature of São Paulo s colonial economy and social dynamics. New functions and meanings are proposed for the house, considering it an active element in the process of constitution of the colonial space along the Tietê river valley. The study of local/regional ceramics brings back to history some of the players who were forgotten in other sources, thus contributing to the understanding of the role of freemen within this slave-based society. It is then possible to envision São Paulo as a global village, with its own complexity and dynamics, consistent with the ongoing process of globalization at the times. Finally, this work makes propositions aiming at the reinsertion of the Bandeirista houses into the metropolis cultural life as highly important monuments to its history.
