It was previously managed by the Department of Historic Heritage (DPH) of the Municipal Secretariat of Culture of São Paulo.

The site also houses the São Paulo Museum and Archeology Center, whose collection and administration are still under DPH's responsibility.

Coordinated by Paula Nishida, the site is dedicated to excavations and scientific research by the Department of the Municipal Secretariat of Culture.

The historian Márua Roseni Pacce was the leader in this process and worked together with archaeologists, restoration specialists, and other professionals.

The construction of the headquarters is attributed to José de Góis Morais, a wealthy Paulistan connected to mining.

[5][4] In addition, it was discovered that the property was used as a resting farm, and also as a farmhouse where many rural activities were developed, such as pottery making, crop cultivation, cattle, and animal breeding.

He kept, by his own account, a small farm, and from there he made his living by selling chickens, eggs, chicks, and pigs.

The structure of the site harkens back to the period when the bandeirantes explored parts toward the city in search of riches and settled in nearby villages.

The documents and artifacts are from the 18th to 20th centuries, coming from the excavations and archeological research carried out by the Department of Historical Heritage (DPH) throughout the capital of São Paulo.

The companies were sued by the Federal Public Ministry and were obliged to pay for the maintenance of the conservation works of Sitio Morrinhos and the implementation of the center.

That said, I consider all the pieces interesting, especially the set of artifacts that represent the Morumbi Lithic Site because it brings us the history of the populations that inhabited the city of São Paulo between 5,000 and 6,000 years ago and that is not known to most people.

Thus, even though it has a tourist attraction sign, it goes unnoticed by people passing by Avenue Braz Leme, approximately 290 meters away.
