Análise dos bioindicadores paleoambientais em sítios arqueológicos de Moçambique

Abstract

This work deals with the study of bioindicators in archaeological sites in Mozambique. It intends to test the reliability of biological indicators in the study of paleoenvironmental changes, therefore, it called into question the identification and description of credible biological indicators used in paleoenvironmental works in archaeological sites in Mozambique and other countries in southern Africa during the period of Holocene.

To test the reliability of the paleoenvironmental bioindicators, the meta-analysis method was used, which completed by distinguishing the types of biological indicators and the respective indicator variables, as a way to understand the depositional environment of the paleoenvironmental indicators. From the comparative analysis of paleoenvironmental indicators used in southern Africa, the credible indicator to study the various paleoenvironmental events that affect aquatic and terrestrial environments throughout the Holocene was verified, and the importance of combining them to obtain improved results (TRADUÇÃO NOSSA)
