Like this stone "axe":

It's the third of it kind, and human remains like this:

An left Tibia (fragment) that I think it suffered a fracture. By this pic, one can not tell, only with the bone in hand!

Do you already know how old that stuff is?

Possibly, but since i don't know what is a dumpster diver, or the correct translation to portuguese I can not awnser you!:p

The datation of the place is around five thousand years BC or more I think. Late mesolithic, neolithic and early or/and chalcolithic periods; give or take 1 thousand years...
