Abstract:
Abstract The interaction of myth and history at Sinope is explored with regard (1) to Diogenes the Cynic and (2) Sanape/Sinope the Amazon. The modern statue of Diogenes illustrates the abiding and changing significance of an individual whose myth is much more important than the more probable details of his biography. His dwelling in a storage-jar may echo the image of Sinope as a centre of production and exchange (especially in wine and oil), while his apparent exile from Sinope (with his father) may shed some light on the obscure history of the city around the turn of the fifth into the fourth century BC, especially in its dealings with Athens.As for Amazons, it is argued that the distinction between Sinope the nymph and Sinope/Sanape the Amazon is not clear-cut, especially because the nymph was imagined (as often as not) as a daughter of Ares, like the Amazons. That explains why she is an Amazon (and not a nymph) in Pseudo-Scymnus, writing for a king of neighbouring Bithynia. The much-discussed version of Andron of Teos and his story of the hard-drinking Amazon may owe something to the city’s reputation for wine, but it seems to be marginal to the main-line tradition from Heraclitus to Pseudo-Scymnus and the Tabula Albana. Sinope was one of several cities of Asia Minor which claimed and celebrated an Amazon in its mythical past. Aeneas Tacticus gives a clue to Amazon cult practice in the city. The link with Amazons may also have assisted Sinope’s imperialism in the eastern Black Sea region.

Abstract:
Purpose – This paper aims to argue that one of the ways of enabling tourism to become sustainable is for archaeologists to relate archaeology to poverty, while being aware of the process of heritage production. It proposes that one way to engage with issues of poverty is to talk to people who are trying to get out of poverty. Many archaeologists are already at work using a similar perspective not just to integrate international scholarship with local interests, but to hand over authority relating to aspects of research to the local community. Design/methodology/approach – This paper reviews literature about and archaeological study in the Bolivian Amazon region. Here, all-weather roads are scarce and unreliable. Scholars are beginning to document and analyze the archaeological record of this region, and as lowland Bolivians develop tourism, the article considers how archaeology could help connect the Bolivian Amazon to an international audience. Findings – An anthropological perspective suggests that projects in which local people are connected to decision-making will have long-term effects. Without such integration, cycles of boom and bust are likely to repeat. The article cites two examples: the inscription of the Ichapekene Piesta Moxos on the UNESCO Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, and the Museo Yacuma, in Santa Ana del Yacuma. Community archaeology, in which the community makes decisions about how research will proceed, is a developing trend, which stands to benefit local people, archaeologists and tourists. Originality/value – The paper outlines how community archaeology in the Beni region of Bolivia can be built on a strong foundation: first, by a community of Benianos that are ready, willing and able to be a part of both the development of tourism and of archaeology and second, via its long and varied archaeological record, providing plenty of material for the development of heritage. The question is whether a community archaeology can generate and sustain archaeological heritage as part of a tourism industry?

Abstract:
To think about public archaeology in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic is a task which forces us to deal with frustrations and challenges imposed, by the current moment, on all of us. One of the most profound effects of the pandemic is the social isolation and the prohibition to our most human relations of closeness. Distancing rules have created a ‘pandemic sociability’ (Toledo and Souza Junior 2020) in which fear of the virus, of contact, of death, of the very possibility of being vector of the disease dictate the movement of bodies and, at the same time, dislocate our view towards other realities around us.

Abstract:
This article aims to address the impacts of rubber via historical and contemporary archaeology of the Amazon. Through an “archaeology of rubber” a notion of modernity is examined here. From the creation of rubber gloves to snow boots and tires, rubber has allowed humans to expand their interactions with the environment. As these interactions expanded, the consolidation of the Industrial Revolution and Occidentalism entangled actors in a complex web of meanings, becomings and agencies in opposition to local knowledge. Through a plural and multispecies approach, this article places the study of rubber’s materiality in the field of the archaeology of capitalism and modernity. Also, through oral history, deep archival research and public archaeology, local ontologies and materialities offer contemporary archaeology a more elastic view, aimed at widening perceptions of a global story.

Abstract:
There is a polarised debate amongst Neotropical archaeologists and ecologists over the extent of Pre-Columbian (pre-AD 1492) anthropogenic environmental impacts in Amazonia. While some maintain the old paradigm of pre-Columbian Amazonia as a “pristine wilderness”, which was sparsely populated by humans, others point to the discovery of an increasing number of archaeological sites across the Amazon basin as evidence for large, complex societies, supported by intensive agriculture and management of forest and aquatic resources. Under this model, pre- Columbian people had profound impacts on biogeochemical cycles through largescale deforestation and biomass burning, and left an indelible legacy on Amazonian ecosystems by altering edaphics, geomorphology, hydrology, and the distribution of plant taxa. However, so far this debate has continued amongst a paucity of palaeoecological data, meaning that we have little evidence to indicate the scale of impact, and often no palaeoenvironmental context in which to place these societies. Other aspects of pre-Columbian cultures, such as their chronology, land use practices and subsistence strategies, are also poorly understood. In this thesis, palaeoecological methods are applied to improve our understanding of the scale, nature, and legacy of land use associated with pre- Columbian geometric earthwork cultures in north-east Bolivia. The methodology employs analysis of fossil pollen and macroscopic charcoal from lake core sediments. In total 110 pollen and 628 charcoal samples were analysed from four lakes: Laguna Isireri (14°49’18”S, 65°40’57”W), Laguna Orícore (13°20’44”S, 63°31’31”W), Laguna Granja (13°15’44”S, 63°42’37”W) and Laguna La Luna (13°21’20”S, 63°35’2”W). Chronologies were built for these cores from 12 AMS 14C dates. Results are presented in four chapters (thesis chapters 2-5), in the form of academic papers. Chapter 2 describes a new laboratory technique co-developed with Whitney et al., which improves the recovery of cultigen pollen grains from sediments from large, Neotropical lake basins. This technique was applied in the laboratory preparations of sediments analysed for Chapters 3-5. Chapter 3 employs palaeoecological reconstructions from differently sized lakes (L. Granja and L. Orícore) in the same earthwork region, to obtain both a regional- and a local-scale history of environmental change/human impact around the archaeological site. Key findings of this paper are: 1) earthworks were built in an originally open savannah landscape, which existed under drier-than-present climatic conditions in the mid-to-late-Holocene; 2) forest expanded into this region from ~ 2000 (cal yrs) BP and was supressed locally around the settlement to maintain an open landscape; therefore, 3) earthwork construction across southern Amazonia, may not have required extensive deforestation, and pre-Columbian impacts on biogeochemical cycling may have been much less than some authors have suggested. Chapter 4 looks more closely at the local scale record provided by L. Granja. These data are integrated with phytolith data analysed by co-author J. Watling and existing archaeological data, to discuss the chronology of settlement on the site, the agricultural/land use strategies employed by its inhabitants, and the spatial scale and distribution of impacts locally around the site. Key findings are that: 1) first occupation of the site is much earlier than previously dated from archaeological contexts, beginning ~2500 BP; 2) maize was the staple crop grown on site; 3) land use involved more extensive and intensive burning of the landscape than compared to modern slash-and-burn agriculture; 4) site decline occurred ~ 500 BP, and may have been related to the Columbian Encounter of AD1492; 5) the close integration of local scale palaeoecological records with archaeology, is highly useful in discerning aspects of chronology and spatial variability of land use. Chapter 5 presents a 6000 year record of palaeoenvironmental change and land use on a pre-Columbian forest island site. Key findings are that: 1) As in Chapter 3, inhabitants exploited an originally open landscape and practiced forest suppression to maintain that open landscape; 2) the earliest recorded evidence for maize agriculture in the region is found at 2100 BP; 3) the economically useful species Theobroma cacao, which is abundant on the site today, is not detectable in the pollen record; 4) clear-cutting was not practiced on the site and previous population estimates, based on labour for deforestation, must be reconsidered. The work in this thesis reveals a new model of human-environment interactions, demonstrating that pre-Columbian earthwork cultures in southern Amazonia occupied and adapted to a region of dynamic, climatically controlled forest-savannah transition during the mid-to-late-Holocene. Obtaining a palaeoenvironmental context for archaeological landscapes, is shown to be a vital pre-requisite to inferring past environmental impacts. Furthermore, we demonstrate the valuable contribution that palaeoecology can make to a better understanding of the chronology and land use practices of pre-Columbian cultures.

O interesse desta dissertação é compartilhar a experiência em extroverter as chaves de conhecimento voltadas ao patrimônio cultural em geral, e o arqueológico em específico, no contexto do licenciamento ambiental na Amazônia. O que se pretende neste trabalho é esboçar uma etnografia do contrato, avaliando as relações interpessoais, as mudanças sócio-econômicas, as reciprocidades e conflitos envolvidos nesse cenário. Ao mesmo tempo, é intenção avaliar a efetividade das ações compartilhadas junto com a comunidade de Juruti, apontando seus alcances e limites. Interessa avaliar em cada ação o objetivo, seqüência e conseqüência, sempre calcada na realidade local e na perspectiva de contribuir para atitudes sociais colaborativas. Cabe apontar a multiplicidade de coletivos que se confrontam nesse campo do licenciamento ambiental: demandas, interesses e perspectivas variados colaboram e rivalizam entre si, dentro e fora de cada coletivo. Esse cenário favorece a fricção entre os coletivos, que se atualizam e transmudam, em um dinâmico amadurecimento político. A imagem do caleidoscópio descreve de maneira muito feliz o dinamismo e brilho desses coletivos na sua relação política, em geral, e com nosso programa de educação patrimonial, em específico; e esse é o foco do presente trabalho.
The main point of this dissertation is to share an experience of extend the keys of knowledge related with cultural heritage in general and the archaeological heritage in specifically; under the context of environmental license at Amazonia. The intended is to do a groundwork ethnography of archaeology contract, evaluating the interpersonal relationships, social economics changes, the reciprocities and conflicts involved in this scene. It is also to measure the efficacy of actions shared with Juruti community, showing limits and achievements. The objective, sequence and consequence of those actions will be evaluated, always in local reality, to be helpful for social collaborative attitudes. It should be noted the multiplicity of collective are face-to-face with demands and interests, in the environmental license field, so the different perspectives of this collectives make them help and clash each other and themselves. This atmosphere helps the friction between the collective, which are updated and modified, in a dynamic political maturity process. The kaleidoscope image describe in the very happy way the bright of these collectives in his political relation in general, and in our education heritage program in specifically, whose is the focus of this work.

A Catedral Metropolitana de Manaus - Igreja Nossa Senhora da Conceição surgiu de uma capela carmelita construída no século XVII e depois de várias reconstruções, recebeu vários acréscimos durante os anos até atingir a dimensão atual. A pesquisa arqueológica na Catedral Metropolitana de Manaus ocorreu entre os dias 15 de abril e 06 de outubro de 2002. Neste período foram realizados trabalhos no edifício, concentrados na sacristia oeste da igreja, nave central e varanda oeste. Nos jardins foram encontrados uma diversidade de materiais como, louça, vidro, ferro, provenientes em sua maioria do aterro realizado pelo prefeito Jorge Teixeira com material proveniente do, então, lixão da cidade. Já no aterro realizado no séc. XIX foram encontrados basicamente material argiloso. As evidências biológicas aparecem em todos os aterros, algumas são inerentes aos aterros, outras são resultado de atividades de insetos. O ciclo econômico da borracha contribuiu fortemente para o desenvolvimento da região e Manaus. Tanto que suas principais obras arquitetônicas e de infra-estrutura foram efetuadas durante o apogeu do ciclo da borracha. Se por um lado Manaus tinha recursos para obras como o Teatro Amazonas, por outro, faltava mão-de-obra, tanto pela pequena população como pelo atrativo dos seringais

Abstract:
As fontes históricas disponíveis para área dos rios Nhamundá-Trombetas, no baixo Amazonas, relatam à existência de assentamentos populosos, formas hierarquizadas de organização social e cultos religiosos, indicando a existência de sociedades complexas a época dos primeiros contatos. Na segunda metade do século XIX, foram descobertas nessa área cerâmicas elaboradas e ídolos de pedra. Esses elementos associados aos relatos históricos induziram à hipótese sobre a existência de complexidade cultural nessa região desde antes do contato. Nesse contexto, a região do rio Trombetas adquiriu visibilidade para arqueologia da Amazônia. Estudos arqueológicos na região de Porto Trombetas realizados na década de 1970 demostratam a existência de duas ocupações ceramistas situadas ao longo dos rios e lagos: uma mais antiga - Pocó; e outra mais recente - Konduri. Pesquisas recentes na mesma região, realizadas no âmbito da arqueologia de contrato, permitiram identificar sítios com características distintas daqueles situados nas margens dos rios relacionados a ocupação Konduri. O estudo e a comparação entre os sítios ribeirinhos e do interflúvio irá mostrar que as sociedades pré-históricas daquela região exploravam e dominavam ambos os ambientes.
The available historical sources for the area of the Nhamundá-Trombetas rivers, in the lower Amazon, report the existence of populous settlings, hierarchical forms of social organization and religious cults, indicating the existence of complex societies during the time of the first contacts. In the second half of the 19th century, elaborated ceramic and stone idols were discovered in this area. These elements associated with the historical reports led to the hypothesis of the existence of cultural complexity in this region previous to the contact. In this context, the region of the Trombetas river acquired visibility for Amazon archaeology. Archaeological studies carried out in the Porto Trombetas region in the 1970s demonstrated the existence of two ceramist occupations spread along the rivers and the lakes: an older one - Pocó; and a more recent one - Konduri. Recent research, in the same region, carried out in the scope of contract archaeology, allowed the identification of small sites showing distinct characteristics from those located in the edges of the rivers and associated with Konduri occupation. The study and comparison between the sites located in the edges of the rivers and in the interfluve zone will show that the prehistoric societies from that region exploited and dominated both environments.

Abstract:
The beginnings of human occupation of the Amazon go back to the Pleistocene-Holocene transition. Already at 8500 BP there are signs of human occupation in different settings, both riverine and hinterland, throughout the whole basin. The beginnings of ceramic production may be early as well, with dates possibly from the eighth millennium BP and certainly from the sixth millennium BP. Paradoxically, however, with the exception of localized areas, the archaeological record of the middle Holocene across the Amazon is characterized by large hiatuses with few if any signs of human occupation. Hence, although there are signs of continuous human occupation and population aggregation starting at 4500 BP at places such as the Upper Madeira, the Upano basin and the mouth of the Amazon, these seem to be isolated phenomena since no corresponding developments are seen at the same time elsewhere in the Amazon. It is rather later, from around the anno domini on, that a widespread and visible pattern of population growth, site aggregation and noticeable anthropic landscape changes become visible. These changes are matched, in the archaeological record, by the sudden appearance of large sites with deep stratified ceramic deposits associated with anthropic dark soils, raised fields and causeways, large villages surrounded by moats and connected by road networks and of artificial residential and funerary mounds associated with elaborated pottery, quasi-urban settlement systems, polished stone statuettes, long-range trade networks, and the construction of circular megalithic structures. Do theses hiatuses mean that the Amazon basin was scarcely occupied during the mid-Holocene? Is there a taphonomic bias towards the destruction or poor visibility of sites dating from this interval? Can these apparent hiatuses be correlated with events of climatic change? Current data from pollen records, carbon isotopes in stable organic matter, and fluvial geomorphology show that the mid-Holocene in the Amazon could have been drier than the present. If this is true, it is likely that many of the archaeological sites from this time are either destroyed, under water or under tons of alluvial sediment. Conversely, it is also possible that dryness and changes in water level and forest cover may have had a direct impact in human occupation, explaining the changes observed in the archaeological record.
Los inicios de la ocupación de la Amazonía se remontan a la transición entre el Pleistoceno y el Holoceno. Ya hacia 8500 a.p. existen indicios de ella en diversos asentamientos, tanto ribereños como del interior, a lo largo de toda la cuenca. Los comienzos de la producción cerámica también pueden ser tempranos, con fechas, posiblemente, del octavo milenio a.p. y, con certeza, del sexto milenio a.p. Sin embargo, de manera paradójica, con la excepción de algunas áreas, el registro arqueológico del Holoceno Medio a lo largo de la Amazonía se caracteriza por grandes lagunas con pocas evidencias, o ninguna, de presencia del hombre. Por lo tanto, si bien hay señales de ocupación humana continua y la congregación de gente se inicia hacia 4500 a.p. en lugares como el alto Madeira, la cuenca del Upano y la desembocadura del Amazonas, estas parecen constituir fenómenos aislados, ya que no se observan desarrollos correspondientes en otras partes de la Amazonía al mismo tiempo. Más bien, es aún más tarde, desde alrededor de los inicios de nuestra era en adelante, que se hicieron visibles un crecimiento notable y generalizado de la población, la aglutinación de sitios y transformaciones evidentes en el paisaje antrópico. Estas corresponden, en el registro arqueológico, a la aparición súbita de conjuntos de mayores dimensiones, con profundos depósitos estratificados de cerámica asociados con tierras antrópicas de color oscuro, campos de cultivo y caminos elevados, grandes aldeas rodeadas por fosos y conectadas por redes de caminos, montículos artificiales residenciales y mortuorios asociados con cerámica elaborada, sistemas de asentamientos casi urbanos, estatuaria de piedra pulida, redes de comercio de largo alcance y la construcción de estructuras megalíticas circulares. ¿Significan estos vacíos que la cuenca del Amazonas estaba apenas habitada durante el Holoceno Medio? ¿Existe una predisposición hacia la destrucción o pobre visibilidad de los sitios de este intervalo temporal? ¿Se les puede correlacionar con eventos de cambios climáticos? Los datos actuales obtenidos de registros y estudios de polen, análisis de isótopos de carbón en materiales orgánicos estables y estudios de geomorfología fluvial muestran que el Holoceno Medio en la Amazonía pudo haber sido más seco que en el presente. Si esto es verídico, es probable que los yacimientos arqueológicos de esta etapa estén destruidos, bajo el agua o bajo toneladas de sedimento aluvial. De manera inversa, también es posible que las alteraciones en el nivel del agua y la cubierta boscosa puedan haber tenido un impacto directo en los grupos humanos en cuestión, lo que explicaría los cambios visibles en el registro arqueológico.

Abstract:
Esta dissertação descreve as atividades realizadas durante duas etapas de escavações em 2006 e 2007 nos sítios Lago do Iranduba e Laguinho, ambos localizados no município de Iranduba (AM), e apresenta os resultados e conclusões oriundas desta pesquisa. Buscou-se, desde a primeira intervenção, compreender os padrões de uso, ocupação e abandono dos sítios, além de estabelecer uma cronologia baseada em datações relativas e absolutas. As pesquisas realizadas pelo PAC (Projeto Amazônia Central) em sítios na região sugerem um ápice demográfico da ocupação humana pré-colonial na Amazônia central durante o fim do primeiro milênio DC. Confirmar esse clímax ocupacional nos sítios Lago do Iranduba e Laguinho é o principal objetivo desta pesquisa. Para testar esta hipótese, investigamos as informações contidas no material cerâmico, sobretudo diagnosticando-o em relação às fases já estabelecidas para a região. Interpretamos também as feições e montículos como correlatos materiais destas ocupações humanas. Sugerimos nesta dissertação um método de classificação das feições baseada em seu conteúdo, morfologia e volume, que gerou uma tipologia; e calculamos o volume dos grandes montículos do sítio Laguinho para discorrer sobre sua monumentalidade e criar quadros hipotéticos sobre o esforço humano envolvido em sua construção. Nesta pesquisa identificamos duas ocupações humanas no sítio Lago do Iranduba, relacionadas às fases cerâmicas Paredão e Guarita. No sítio Laguinho foram identificadas três ocupações distintas, relacionadas à cerâmica das fases Açutuba, Paredão e Guarita. Através das datações absolutas e relativas e da interpretação do registro arqueológico confirmamos a hipótese do apogeu demográfico, ocorrido no fim do primeiro milênio na Amazônia central, por grupos fabricantes da cerâmica Paredão. Ocupação humana responsável pelas principais modificações da paisagem, representadas na construção dos grandes montículos e da maior parte das feições no sítio Laguinho.
This dissertation describes the two excavation seasons in 2006 and 2007, in Lago do Iranduba and Laguinho sites, both in Iranduba city, estate of Amazonas - Brazil; and presents the results and conclusions of this research. Since the first archaeological intervention, we have been trying to comprehend the patterns of use, occupation and abandon of the sites and to establish a chronology based on relative and absolute dates. The research developed by PAC (Central Amazon Project) in the region sites suggests a demographical apex in the pre-colonial occupations in central Amazon during the end of the first millennium AD. To confirm this climax in the occupations in Laguinho and Lago do Iranduba sites is the main goal of this research. To test this hypothesis, we investigate the data enclosed in the ceramics to diagnose it in accordance with the ceramic phases already established to the area. The features and the mounds were also considered correlated materials of these human occupations. We suggest in this dissertation a classification method for features that rely on its content, morphology and volume, and create a typology; we also calculate the volume of the larger mounds of Laguinho site to discuss its monumentality and develop simulations about human effort involved on its construction. In this research we identified two occupations in Lago do Iranduba site, related to Paredão and Guarita phases. In Laguinho site three different occupations were identified, related to Açutuba, Paredão and Guarita phases. Through the absolute and relative dates and the interpretation of the archaeological record we confirm the hypothesis of demographic apogee occurring in the en of the first millennium in central Amazon, by groups that manufactured the ceramics classified as Paredão phase. The same human occupation is responsible for the major changes in the landscape, represented on the building of the large mounds and most of the features.

Abstract:
Este trabalho teve como objetivo investigar o registro arqueológico de populações ceramistas da região do médio curso do rio Ji-Paraná, Sudoeste Amazônico. A partir de dados contextuais cerâmicos, líticos e da arqueologia da paisagem, analisamos comparativamente oito sítios arqueológico de terra-firme. Por se tratar de uma região ainda pouco conhecida arqueologicamente, nosso objetivo principal esteve em caracterizar o material cerâmico a partir de seus atributos tecnológicos. As pesquisas de campo e laboratório proporcionaram resultados que permitiram identificar um padrão de inserção dos sítios na paisagem, bem como um estilo tecnológico de características regionais, sugerindo que as populações estudadas compartilhavam modos de vida de relativa mobilidade, associando atividades horticultoras e de manejo ambiental integradas a um território comum. As discussões apresentadas nesta tese visam contribuir para a caracterização da variabilidade arqueológica da região e, ainda, para o debate sobre os movimentos populacionais pretéritos que envolveram o Sudoeste Amazônico, notadamente, dos falantes do Tronco Tupi.
The present work aimed to investigate the archeological record of ancient ceramist populations of Southwestern Amazon, specifically from the contexts of the middle Ji-Paraná River. Based on contextualized ceramic and lithic findings, and assuming landscape archaeological framework as a standpoint, we proposed a comparative analysis of eight upland archaeological sites. The research focused on a region relatively unexplored by academic archaeological investigation. Our prime objective was to characterize the ceramic material through its technological attributes. Field works and laboratorial analysis provided results leading to the identification of a pattern for the landscape insertion of the archeological sites, as well as a regional technological style, suggesting that the studied populations shared a life way of relative mobility, combing horticultural and environmental management activities, integrated to a common territory. The discussions presented in this thesis hope to contribute to the characterization of Southwestern Amazon archaeological variability, and also to the debate concerning peoples\' mobility in the past, notably the Tupi language stock speakers of that region.
