Located in the current territory of the municipality of Caicó/RN, the site Culumins is both the name of the place and the object of study linked to the context of the settlement of the capitania of Rio Grande, consolidated at the end of the seventeenth century and that had in the implantation of the farm structures a privileged locus. This space, based on the interaction between individuals with landscapes and material culture, is analyzed with a view to understanding the aspects related to the economy and the rural society in the colonial Seridó, since the end of the eighteenth century and throughout the nineteenth century. Therefore, from the objects and the space where they are inserted, use documentary surveys, oral reports, reading and interpretation of bibliographic references, in addition to the use of archaeological methodologies of field and laboratory research, to address consumer-related social and cultural practices. However, it is noteworthy that the idea of consumption is not restricted to thinking only marketing, but it also integrates the way in which these objects were used and produced by the individuals who lived there and how this can be inserted into other spheres of social relations. This perspective is a way of understanding the material dimension present in the living spaces of the sertão of Seridó, also reflecting the notion of a materiality that integrates the northeastern backlands during the colonial period.
