The preliminary results obtained from this project are beginning to document how southern Jê groups were organized at a regional level in the transition between the lowland semideciduos and mixed Araucaria forest allowing us to assess for the first time their socio-political organization. The distinctiveness of southern Jê settlement types and ceremonial architecture in relation to other Andean and Amazonian Formative processes will make an important contribution to the comparative study of the rise and dynamics of complex societies in lowland South America and elsewhere.
