The archeology of southern Brazil has been paying attention, since the 1960s, to a very special type of ancient human occupation found in many points of the plateau in the states of São Paulo, Paraná and, mainly, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul, in addition to some similar finds near the coast, in the south of Santa Catarina.
The Kaingang, one of the 305 current ethnic groups in Brazil, already inhabited the southern plateau three thousand years before the arrival of Europeans. These towns were known as Proto-Kaingang, towns of the Taquara Tradition or People of the Underground Houses.
To protect themselves from the harsh winter that punishes the high regions of southern Brazil, called Cima da Serra fields, they built their houses underground, thus keeping them protected from the strong and icy winds that cut the plateau. Sometimes the walls were compacted with finer clay, resulting in a coating layer.
The Kaingang (also spelled caingangue in Portuguese or kanhgág in the Kaingang language) people are an Indigenous Brazilian ethnic group spread out over the three southern Brazilian states of Paraná, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul and the southeastern state of São Paulo.
