| GASPAR
In this municipality, around 40kms inland, a stone engraved with characters
from an ancient language was found at a sambaqui 5,320 years old known
as Sitio Hanemann in 1072. The stone features four lines of characters
on one side with, on the right, a symbol reminiscent of the Greek letter
Omega plus two small indentations common in artefacts found at sambaquis
and other burial sites and, on the other side, six characters. The furrows
or grooves of these characters are filled with rock-dust, sediment and
other more distant elements carried on the wind, which shows that the
work is very old. The stone is now to be found in Florianopolis at the
Museum of Sambaqui Man (Museo do Homem do Sambaqui).

In this municipality,
on the Morro do Bau, we can see a site of Rupestrian Art carried out along
different lines of design (non-geometric), formed by deep, rounded figures,
upon a rock support of Bordeaux-coloured sandstone.
