Museu, cultura material e gravura rupestre: a construção da paisagem no universo das coisas polidas

Abstract

This study was carried out in Serra Azul, located in the municipality of Ibaretama, in the State of Ceará, Northeastern Brazil. The main reflections are focused on the polishing technology that permeates a rock engraving site, the material culture of polished artifacts of a museum located in this region and also, fixed pylons and polishes elaborated on rocky outcrops of the above-mentioned saw. The landscape in this way has its memory in the material culture coming from this area of the moun-tain, which is always sent as a source. The social practices that acted in the elaboration of rock engraving may be demarcated in the contact period when interrelating ethno-historical data. The polishes and fixed pylons, together with the technique of engraving are permeated by the polishing technique, printing a landscape related to technical knowledge.
