Surveyors in Brazil who are planning the construction of a new apartment complex were shocked when they discovered a number of bones and fragments of clay pottery. They immediately called an archaeologist to investigate the site, and the results were truly surprising: 43 human bones and around 100,000 artifacts have been found at the site.
Quoted from Ancient Origins, during that period, the construction team was considering a project to build an apartment complex in the coastal city of Sao Luis, Maranhao state, in northeastern Brazil. After it was confirmed that the discovered bones were around 9,000 years old.
A land measuring 6 hectares is known as Rosane Garden among the local residents. In 2019, the construction company MRV collaborated with Wellington Lage from "W Lage Arqueologia" to conduct research before commencing the apartment construction project.

When conducting research in the area, Sage discovered bones in 1970 and human jaw fragments in 1991. According to CBS reports, over the past four years, the Lage team has successfully excavated 43 human skeletons and collected over 100,000 artifacts.
On the discovery site, the top layer of soil contains various Tupinamba artifacts, a Tupi ethnic group that inhabited the region of Brazil before colonization by the Portuguese in the 17th century. Beneath that layer, the research team found artifacts originating from the Amazon people, and in even deeper layers, they discovered bones, shells, and fragments of pottery.
Ceramic dating back 8,000-9,000 years was found beneath the layer mound, approximately two meters below it. Lage believes that the area now located in contemporary Brazil is a settlement area that is approximately 1,400 years older than previously estimated.
