Abstract In Brazil the use of the term Cerrito was traditionally adopted in Rio Grande do Sul to designate archaeological expressions that appeared in a monticular shape in different landscapes, assigned by the Programa Nacional de Pesquisas Arqueológicas (PRONAPA) as materials of the ceramic tradition Vieira, classified as the four late phases (Cerritos, Vieira, Torotama and Ibirapuitã) of the Umbu tradition, related to hunter-gatherers. The classification in phases and traditions for this context grouped under a same denomination sites of distinct social groups, with the premise that the coastal Cerritos would be late constructions of hunter-gatherers of the interior, resulting in generalizations towards the monticular sites. With the exception of recent researches developed in the Southwest of Laguna dos Patos, few advances occurred in the study of Cerritos in Brazil after the end of PRONAPA. In order to investigate the hypothesis of the existence of different specificities in the current Rio Grande do Sul territory, this research sought to understand the particularities between the coastal and the interior Cerritos, how the creation of Umbu and Vieira traditions occurred and what their consequences were for the study of these structures.
