Résumé

Charcoal analysis is the taxonomic and quantitative study of charcoal remains found in soils or archaeological deposits, based on plant anatomy. This discipline may provide both ethnoarchaeological and palaeoecological evidences. In this paper we present its methods and possible applications, as well as a few examples. We suggest that important results may be expected from charcoal analysis applied to brazilian archaeology.
