Considerations about the grès in the historicarchaeological site Jardim das Princesas, Museu Nacional of Rio de Janeiro.

Abstract

Starting from a preliminary study of the vessels of grès from the middle of XIX Century found in the “Jardim das Princesas”, Museu Nacional of Rio de Janeiro, it becomes necessary to investigate the area, in the attempt to rescue, through material vestiges, the socioeconomic and cultural aspects of social groups that there lived. For these, archaeological researches were made, involving digging out and analysis of the material found, among other activities, and resulting in the reconstitution of some vessels then utilized.
