In Brazil, the first studies of archaeological remains are due to P. Lund, a pioneer in paleontology, who in 1843 found human bones mixed with those of missing animals in the caves of Lagoa Santa, Minas Gerais. At that time, large animals were believed to have disappeared with the biblical flood, and Lund he was the first to think of the existence of an antediluvian man in the Americas, but in that he was not followed. He also described to the European public polished stone tools found by peasants and claimed that the heaps of shells found on the Brazilian coast (the sambaquis) were the work of the first inhabitants of the place. This was important in recognizing the human origin of similar sites that exist in northern Europe.
At the end of the 19th century, the first archaeological excavations were carried out in the sambaquis of Santa Catarina, by Von den Steinen, and in sites in Amapá, by Emílio Goeldi. From the perspective of that time, it was essentially about finding objects that let you know which was the “evolutionary level” reached by Brazilian indigenous peoples in relation to a scale established in the Europe. The natives of Brazil were considered to be very primitive and that their ancestors would be incapable of crafting the beautiful ceramics and stone sculptures found in various places. Thus, many attributed the Marajoara pottery to Phoenician or Greek peoples – who would have landed here in Antiquity – and the sculptures of the shell mounds to an influence from the Andean cultures.
