RESUMO
The monumental sambaquis from the south coast of Santa Catarina have already a long tradition within the Brazilian archeology studies, being the target of systematic research for some decades now. However, several small sambaquis, composed of a single blackish layer, rich in shells and organic material have been mapped in recent years by members of the project Sambaquis e Paisagem (Sambaquis and Landscape). These small sambaquis, very often, do not follow the formative process modeled for the large shell mounds in the region (e.g. Jab II). However, these little ones keep a close relationship with the larger shell mounds due to the contemporary and spatial proximity that they present. Despite the variability presented by the shell mounds of the area, evidences of household structures were not found, nor other structures that could be linked with the daily activities of this groups. Thus, in presenting the case of the sambaqui Lagos dos Bichos II, a small and non-funerary mound, with a large amount of lithic artifacts along its surface and surroundings, and the focus of this work, we intend to contribute in the understanding of the moundbuilders\ technological organization and dynamics of regional occupation.
