The geoarchaeological and historical archaeological research conducted under the Pelourinho Project established new viewpoints and discoveries on the urbanization of Salvador’s Historic Center, with a focus on its constructed technogenic deposits. Since these deposits suggest intentionality, issues such as city growth, space occupation, constructive processes, the material culture used, and its origin provided a unique context for investigating the cultural and environmental procedures used in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, including the intentional reuse of construction waste. The identification of two types of technogenic deposits formed by the presence and intensity of a number of material culture elements was significant. |
