For all of you interested in the in the history of archaeological research of Lagoa Santa, we are proud to announce the publication of English translation of the edited volume published last year in Portuguese. The volume presents 17 chapters reviewing the research, curatorship, and excavations done by a wide range paleontologists, archeologists, and anthropologists, from the initial work by the Danish naturalist Peter Lund, in the 19^th Century, to the current research led by Walter Neves and his team. The volume is divided in two parts, with the first one compiling chapters revising the history of research in the region, and the second developing further the different research topics that are still being explored in Lagoa Santa. Together, the chapters provide for the first time in English the historical context of the rich history of research in Lagoa Santa, and demonstrate the great diversity of research being conducted in this fascinating region of Brazil about the earliest human occupants of South America.
