Abstract

The study of hearths in Proto-Jê do Sul sites, in the northeast of RS state, allowed us to understand issues related to fire technology and fuel economy of these groups. This was done through a qualitative description of the fire structures and an anthracological analysis of each site. We found structural characteristics that influenced the combustion, suggesting an accurate knowledge of the burning process and the construction of the hearths, correlated with its uses. The anthracological analysis allowed us to classify the firewood types, and to suggest some environmental characteristics of vegetation in the firewood resources area.
