O Instituto do Patrimônio Histórico e Artístico Nacional (Iphan) identificou e catalogou 16 novos sítios arqueológicos na região do Jalapão, no leste do Tocantins. Foram encontrados na área artes rupestres datadas do período pré-colonial e realizadas por seres humanos. Segundo o órgão, as pinturas foram feitas há pelo menos dois mil anos.
“Entre os símbolos gravados e pintados nas rochas, destacam-se pegadas humanas, pegadas de animais como veados e porcos do mato, e figuras que lembram corpos celestes”, explica Rômulo Macedo, arqueólogo do Iphan em Tocantins.
O arqueólogo destaca, no entanto, que as artes rupestres recém-descoberta estão ameaçada por diversos fatores, como erosão eólica, vandalismo, incêndios florestais e o desmatamento na região do Jalapão. Para evitar a degradação desse bem cultural, o Iphan irá realizar Educação Patrimonial nas comunidades próximas.
Patrimônio do Tocantins
O Tocantins possui uma vasta área de sítios arqueológicos cadastrados pelo Iphan. As áreas descobertas irão integrar um complexo arqueológico localizado no Jalapão.
Segundo o órgão, a ocupação humana no Jalapão é datada de 12 mil anos, onde foram formadas sítios arqueológicos durante o período pré-colonial e até o contato com os colonizadores europeus.
