Opened in 2002, the Museum of Lithic Workshops, also known as Museum of the Burners, was designed by Iphan, the National Historical and Artistic Heritage Institute, in partnership with the Costão do Santinho Resort. Located on the south coast of Praia dos Ingleses, in the north of Florianópolis, the Museum houses a prominent archaeological site, with a wide variety of rocks carved by the island's ancestral peoples, produced during the daily activity of sharpening and sharpening lithic instruments and artifacts ( stone).
The archaeological site is full of stones used as sharpeners and grinders. Such stones are exposed in isolated places, always very close to the sea and the streams of Praia dos Ingleses. In the Museum, stones marked in circular shapes and longitudinal lines are still observed, where hatchets, spearheads, weights for fishing nets and zoolites (stone animals) were prepared during daily activity.
Currently, the Museum of Lithic Workshops is protected by a wooden structure, consisting of a path and a deck.
Visitation
Free and open to the public every day of the year. The ideal is to visit it during the day.
