The formation process of a paleoindian open-air site in Central Brazil: integrating lithic analysis, radiocarbon and luminescence dating

► Formation processes studied at a stratified open-air site in Central Brazil. ► Lithic analysis suggests two occupations with post-depositional disturbance. ► Single grain luminescence dating also shows post-depositional disturbance. ► Luminescence analysis lends reliability to dates provided by radiocarbon.
