Você é o que você come. Aspectos da subsistência no Sambaqui do Moa - Saquarema/RJ

Abstract

The present thesis consists of the study of Sambaqui do Moa - Saquarema / RJ, focusing on the issue of food and its relations with the socio - cultural system of the groups that inhabited it, aiming to use food as one more component to understand aspects of socio - cultural identity of the sambaquieiros groups. Procedures have been used to help understand and interpret data obtained through zooarchaeological studies aimed at recovering cultural aspects, as well as contributing to the methodological approach. The results point to the predominance of fishing activities in relation to mollusc collection and hunting, corroborating the model proposed by Figuti (1994/5), on the subsistence strategies of the sambaquieiros groups
