Abstract: This article presents the results of ethno-archaeological investigations conducted by SIFETE between 1975 and 1981 in eastern São Paulo. The research was based on an upward prospecting methodology, tracing the dispersal of lithic artifacts from fluvial deposition zones in Itapira-SP to the production center at the headwaters of the Peixe River in Socorro-SP. Twenty-eight pieces were cataloged, highlighting a technological duality between flint knapping (workshop industry) and the polishing of intrusive rocks. The identification of Neolithic engineering structures—including a circular stone furnace and retaining walls—associated with extensive debitage waste in Socorro, confirms the existence of a structured and permanent settlement. The study also distinguishes the terrestrial hunting corridors of Aguaí-SP from fluvial dynamics, consolidating a model of systemic territorial occupation for Gê linguistic groups in the region.
