Full textThe 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.

Full textThe Cathedral of Manaus, started as a Carmelite chapel constructed in century XVII and after some reconstructions, it received some additions during the years until reaching the current dimension. The archaeological research in the Cathedral Metropolitan of Manaus occurred enters days 2002 15 and 06 of October. In this period works in the building had been carried through, concentrated in the sacristy west of the church, central ship and veranda west. In the gardens they had been found a diversity of materials as, ware, glass, iron, proceeding in its majority from I fill with earth it carried through for mayor Jorge Teixeira with material proceeding from, then, earth sanitary of the city. No longer I fill with earth carried through in XIX century had been found basically material argillaceous. The biological evidences appear in all the earth earth, some are inherent to the earth and others are resulted of activities of insects. The rubber economic cycle contributed to the development in that all region and Manaus. The city of Manaus changed, not only in this architectonic aspect, but in all segments. The progress of Manaus had a dramatic effect on the public administration

Full textThe 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.

Full textLos 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.

Full textThis 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.

Full textThe 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.

Full textThe Hatahara site, in Iranduba, State of Amazonas, has been studied since 1999 and was at the heart of many papers (Machado, 2005; Neves e Petersen, 2006; Tamanaha, 2006; Rebellato, 2007; Lima, 2008 and others). This site is exceptional for several raisons: size, content, number of occupations, earth mounds and mainly state of conservation of organic material (human, animal and vegetal). For this project it was decided that a more thorough analyses should be conducted on the burials belonging to the Paredão phase (7th to 13th century) found in this site. The main purpose was to obtain information on the life of past societies, funerary rituals and the context in which they were inserted. The data acquired through the perspective of the archaeology of death and taphonomy are being compared to the work already produced about this site. As a result we noticed a complex funerary pattern with meaningful variations and multi-purpose structures (funerary and habitation). Furthermore, it was observed that the preservation of organic materials was closely related to certain environmental and cultural variables that allow us to expect that more archaeological sites having these conditions may be discovered.

Full textThe central goal of this dissertation is to present guiding principles for heritage education activities within the realm of preventive archaeology. The research was structured from three fields of knowledge - public archaeology, archaeological museum studies and heritage education - which have developed reflections towards the rapprochement of archaeology and society at large, with the aim of presenting parameters for the execution of these actions. From the historical context underlying these actions and based on the theoretical and methodological of these fields of knowledge, I present a model for heritage education in the context of preventive archaeology: The Program for Heritage Education in the Archaeological Survey the Coari - Manaus Pipeline (AM). The actions planned for the execution of such program were developed from a processual and systemic approach aiming to discuss how archaeological studies have been contributing with discussions about past human occupation of Amazon in a sustainable way.

Full textThe object of this dissertation is to present new data about pre-colonial contexts in Upper Madeira River, with emphasis on the information researched at Teotonio Falls Site, Porto Velho city, state of Rondonia. In this site, was evidenced a long crono-strata that goes beyond the Initial Holoce, passing through the Medium Holocene and reaching to the recent ceramic contexts. Our propose is to understand in which ways changes in socio-economical processes influenced technological changes in the history of the populations that habited Teotonio Falls, ,stressing the Formative Period context, that in the Upper Madeira Basin correspond to the Massangana Phase. From de discovery of new information, we will discuss the concept utilization of the Formative, looking for alternatives models to characterize history processes.

Full textThis dissertation offers new theoretical insights and empirical data that supplements some of the classic models of occupation of Amazonia. Through a combination between empirical data and current knowledge, the dissertation proposes a history of occupation of the Central Amazon region that places cultural groups integrated in a complex socio-political system extending beyond ethnic, linguistic and environmental boundaries as its main agents. The material correlates of this system, which developed from around the beginning of the Christian era and reached until the eleventh or twelve century AD, would be pottery and associated contexts of the Incised Rim tradition. This intricate macroregional network, in effect an Interaction Sphere, includes such features as a standardisation of communication systems expressed in material culture and in forms of using and organizing space. The chronology presented in this dissertation also provides pointers to reassess the use of traditional archaeological concepts such as phases and traditions. It employs these categories with some flexibility inasmuch as the sets of artefacts that have been studied show inherent fluidity in their definitions. In the confluence area of the Negro and Solimões rivers, this permits unravelling a history that is based on an understanding of the relationships between the Açutuba, Manacapuru and Paredão phases.

Full textThis work is a methodological effort to apply an Archaeological Predictive Model on sites known as Stone Alignments at the State of Amapá-Brazil. After some analyses of historical documents from the 1920\'s and 1940\'s, and the last surveys realized by Goeldi Museum in 2005, was possible to test empirically the predictive model. To its construction were used the discussions on site formation processes and the use of previous hypotheses created since the end of the XIX century. The results achieved allowed a brief view on the history of Amazon archaeology and the evaluation of technologies as the Geographical Information System (GIS) as a positive archaeological tool to produce researches in the region.

Full textSi se realiza un examen detenido de los datos empíricos sobre las formas de duelo en la Amazonía, se revelan finalmente dos tipos contrastados de tratamiento funerario. Mientras que por un lado varios grupos humanos se esfuerzan por borrar toda traza y memoria de los muertos, por otro se busca mantener una relación de continuidad con ellos. Las investigaciones realizadas invalidan en parte la tesis común aceptada según la cual la forma arquetípica del duelo en las tierras bajas pasaría por una ruptura radical con los muertos. La existencia de estos dos tipos de tratamiento invita, por otra parte, a reflexionar sobre la producción de formas diferenciadas de memoria histórica en esas sociedades.

Full textThis dissertation addresses the traditional funerary contexts in the Amazon. Even though archaeology is the starting and ending points of our work, we used data from socio-cultural anthropology and ethnology as whole, to structure our theoretical concepts and to analyze the data. Recent funerary contexts may be a key to the past, but mostly they are evidence of the complexity of this topic and the need to consider individuals and their identities at death. Through the contexts that were analyzed, we will engage with some of the prevailing occupation hypothesis in the Amazon Archaeology, for instance: the association between some types of material culture and speakers of the main languages in this region (Arawak, Tupi, Karib and Jê). Archaeological contexts from the Middle Rio Solimões all the way to the state of Amapá were studied. The major elements taken into consideration were: the gestures, the contexts, the grave furniture, the dead, the location of the burials, etc. At the end we realized that while there are pan-Amazonian concepts of what should be a \"good death\", there are also societies that seek to differentiate themselves and have their own, individualized codes.

Full textThis research aims to understand the formation and maintenance of a cultural frontier in the context of Middle Amazonas, during the late pre-contact period. The scope of this research is focused on the demographic peak period of central Amazonia, due to large population movements, along with the spread of the two last important traditions of pre-contact period: Polychrome and Incised and Punctate. This period has been characterized by heavy conflicts in a context of culture change. If we consider the frontier as an historical process, we argue that in this region, from 1000 AD onward, exogenous cultural elements are coexistent with a local style, Saracá tradition, which was able to include these items on a pre-existing ideological conservativism. Because of this, we argue the opposite of customary approach, stressing that at the very basis of this cultural frontier a cultural interchange has been developed and strengthened. In order to test this hypothesis, from the standpoint that domestic context is highly informative, we studied a communal house of Bom Socorro archaeological site (Amazonas state, Brazil). The excavation of this domestic structure made possible the contextualization of this artefactual variability in the social dimension of a small community, showing the connections of different cultural traditions with extra-frontier social bonds. Results point to an occupation period which extends between 1430 and 1650 AD, when the interaction between different groups lead to formation of large settlements made by large communal houses placed in parallel lines. In the central area of the house a feeding area has been recovered, possibly associated to a political or religious function. Ceramic production from this context is a synthesis of the entire regional stylistic variability, pointing to social relationships crossing cultural frontiers. The study of stylistic relationship between Saraca ceramics and other groups demonstrates that this local tradition shares many specific traits with the oldest stylistic assemblages. A strong iconographic relationship with regional rock art is also evident. All these elements point to the production of a local style deeply rooted into the tradition, maybe reflecting the aim of stressing a real social frontier.

Full textBrazilian archeology, along with its archeological heritage, is still little known to the great majority of the Brazilian society. This thesis maintains that Archeological Tourism is an activity not only able to disseminate the knowledge of archeological science but also and mainly to protect the archeological heritage. It is based on (i) discussions about this heritage\'s vulnerability partly due to archeological studies being carried out in Brazil as a result of the construction of great infrastructure projects (e.g. oil and gas pipelines, roads, hydroelectric dams and so forth); the conceptual exposition of theoretical and practical aspects of Tourism; (iii) the summary of Best Practice principles that might help to develop and implement projects in Archeological Tourism following the rules of sustainability. (iv) the emphasis on the importance of Heritage Interpretation for planning the communication with visitors to cultural heritage sites. This thesis proposes a series of attractive archeological tourism products for the municipality of Iranduba, in the state of Amazonas (Brazilian Central Amazon), that although diverse, are meant to complement each other in their purposes and uses. The presented proposals show the feasibility of using the local archeological heritage touristically, even if this lacks monumentality, helping with the development of similar proposals around the country

Full textEl presente artículo analiza un patrón de fiestas intercomunidades en el caso de un grupo nativo contemporáneo: los wari’ de Rondônia, Brasil. Los wari’ manejan sus relaciones con aliados y potenciales aliados en rituales estructurados alrededor de actos y símbolos de trasgresión, castigo, depredación y muerte. En un patrón social "fractal" —es decir, un patrón con una estructura básica que se repite en diferentes escalas— estos encuentros rituales intercomunidades son llevados a otras dimensiones en las relaciones humanas con el mundo espiritual, el mundo de los antepasados y los animales. Estos rituales constituyen un mediador clave de la reproducción social para el caso de las relaciones tradicionales entre las comunidades wari’ y de la reproducción biológica en las relaciones con las fuerzas espirituales que controlan la subsistencia y la mortalidad. Si las posibilidades simultáneas de cooperación y oposición se mantienen en tensión dinámica, este marco de relaciones intergrupales, concebidas como de rivalidad simbólica y "depredación" recíproca voluntaria, permite a las comunidades cultivar o poner fin, según sea el caso, las filiaciones políticas y de compromiso en respuesta a circunstancias cambiantes. Estos encuentros rituales tienen un papel importante en los intercambios de información y la definición y mantenimiento de las redes de afiliaciones o alianzas caracterizadas por su flexibilidad y la posibilidad de movilidad que, en el pasado, permitieron que los wari’ sobrellevaran las presiones históricas de violencia interétnica y las epidemias.

Full textThis dissertation presents archaeological data on site settlements with Guarita ceramics, located in the middle and lower Solimões river, in Amazonas state. The evidence for these settlements is often restricted to the sites\' surfaces, indicating that these were the last indigenous groups to settle in the region, staying until the XVI century AD. Based on the data collected in sites at Coari city and around the confluence of the Solimões and Negro rivers, the purpose of this research is to understand the strata\'s chronology, to undertake the ceramic analysis of materials from these strata, and to determine areas of dispersion and density of archaeological remains. It also examines the relationship between these and other excavated sites in the region. This research intends to propose a hypothesis for the history of how these late pottery making-groups have occupied the middle and lower Solimões river area, thus providing more data about the ceramics of the Amazonian Polychrome Tradition.

Full textThe aim of this research is to discuss the archaeology of the Negro River, specially its lower segment, based on the analysis of two archaeological sites: Floresta and Lago das Pombas which are currently found on the middle Unini River. Thus, the proposal is to adopt a comparative approach based on other well know regions throughout Amazonia, allowing the incorporation of the Lower Negro River into the contemporaneous discussions of this vast region. Amongst the discussed issues, it was possible to highlight the initial occupation of these areas, correlated to the appearance of the so called Terra Preta de Índio (TPI or Anthropogenic Dark Earths - ADE) and the early pottery from the chronological-typological framework of Amazonian Archaeology: Pocó-Açutuba and Borda Incisa. The main objective was to seek aims to answer the broad question about the means by which the pre-colonial occupation occurred in the Lower Negro River region, trying to understand the implications of such processes to the regional social-political configuration presently observed in this basin, which has as a main characteristic the diversity in the way of occupying the spaces.

Full textThe main goal of this dissertation is to introduce the archaeological context of the Amanã Sustainable Development Reserve, situated near the middle course of the Amazon and the lower course of the Japurá Rivers, in the state of Amazonas; its management plan is currently under preparation. This context is then compared to the archaeology of other areas of Amazonia. Preliminary results of the archaeological survey carried out between 2006 and 2008 will be presented, during which time 32 archaeological sites were identified. These are composed of anthropogenic dark earth, pottery and ground lithics. The Boa Esperança and Bom Jesus do Baré archaeological sites were selected for mapping and excavation due to their size, density and the variability of archaeological material they contain. An initial chronology for the Amanã Lake is put forward, based on data related to site size, composition, form and stratigraphy. This is then contrasted to ceramicist occupations identified in the Central Amazon and adjacent areas (the Lower Amazon and middle Caquetá/Japurá). Such a comparative approach is employed as a tool to allow the insertion of the Amanã Lake in the wider scenario, in this way allowing for a contribution to debates and discussions that are important to Amazonian Archaeology, such as the origin and dispersal of ceramic traditions. The data will further provide information to be utilized with local inhabitants for the future development of research, public archaeology and the reserve\'s management activities.

Full textThis dissertation, On the direction of the Amazonian southwest periphery: archaeology in the Jiparaná basin, Rondonia, has as aim objective discuss some aspects found in the archeology of Rondonia State: pottery production and the Archaeological dark earth. Made this, we can have a better comprehension of the occupation of the Encontro archaeological site, object of study in our research. The Encontro site has evidence of litic and pottery sherds, and is located in the direction of the Amazonian southwest periphery, in Ministro Andreazza city, Rondonia State. Comparing to other samples of Amazonian archeological sites, this is a small place, but has the oldest evidence of archeological dark earth associated with ceramic known until now in Amazon. In pursuit of take again in the discussion the data available for the area(until now not too much discussed, mainly the papers of the archeologist Eurico Miller) is that we propose bring back the study of this region, aided by data just now available that refer the Amazonian southwest as an important point of discussion on questions that involve the firsts Tupi expansions and the origins of agriculture

Full textThe main aim of this study is the analysis of the ceramic material from the Cavalo Branco site, a highland Tupi site, located in the Amazon periphery, near the Tocantins River. Comparing the results obtained from this material with those from other nearby sites it was possible to make inferences about several aspects of the eastern Amazonic Tupi. The archaeological, ethno-historic, and ethnographic data indicated a singular characterization for these "new" Tupi, such as aspects related to the ceramics, settlement patterns and village morphology. The results suggested a differential for these groups, which cannot be related to the Guarani or the Tupinambá sub-tradition.

Full textThis thesis presents the results of research seeking to archaeologically contextualize the precolonial production of engraved rock art in the Lower Urubu River drainage (Amazonas State, Brazil). With the objective of characterizing the rock art of this region, I carried out an intensive research project at the site AM-IT-31 Caretas, which has the highest density and formal variability of rock art in the entire area. Spatial control of both the petroglyphs and other archaeological remains at the site was established to permit their complete and systematic documentation. The records were organized in a relational database, allowing for the analysis of the relationships between different sets of evidence. In order to characterize the placement of rock art within the archaeological landscape, I studied its chronological and cultural relationships with the adjoining archaeological site AM-IT-30 Pedra Chata where ceramics occur in a matrix of \"dark earth\". The chronology of the engravings has been correlated to the fluvial dynamics. Thanks to three dates a minimum age has been proposed for the petroglyphs and a paleoenviromental model suggests their maximum age. Preliminary results point to site formation during the late Holocene in synchrony with ceramic period occupations. The analysis of petroglyphs indicates some homogeneity in regard to themes and graphic representation. This suggest a internal consistency in design despite some formal variability.

Full textThis dissertation has the purpose of producing a regional history of the occupations of the producers of the pottery associated with the Amazonian Polychrome Tradition (TPA) in the area of the middle Solimões River. The case study of this research is the excavation and ceramic analysis of the São João site, near Lake Caiambé (Tefé-AM). To complete the objective the form and validity of the production of regional long-term indigenous histories will be discussed, a theoretical choice that will prioritize, in turn, the identification and analysis of past choices accumulated in the archaeological record and in the pottery remains. To size the scope of the research a literature review will present studies about the “TPA” category and about the archaeology and ethno-history of the Middle Solimões. The excavation and ceramic analysis of the São João site allowed a glimpse to the various forms that the producers of TPA occupied the landscape of the Solimoes River. The site and its ceramic analysis served as basis for the reinterpretation of the archaeology of the Middle Solimões and for the production of the regional history of these communities. The accumulated data led to the interpretation that this history is marked by the formation of interaction mosaics between ceramist groups.
A presente dissertação tem como propósito produzir uma história regional das ocupações de produtores das cerâmicas associadas a Tradição Polícroma da Amazônia (TPA) na área do médio rio Solimões. O estudo de caso da pesquisa é a escavação e análise cerâmica do sítio São João, próximo ao lago Caiambé (Tefé-AM). Para realizar esse objetivo será discutida a forma e validade da construção de histórias indígenas de longa duração, uma escolha teórica que priorizará, por sua vez, a identificação e análise das escolhas do passado acumuladas no registro arqueológico e nos vestígios cerâmicos. Para dimensionar o escopo da pesquisa, uma revisão bibliográfica apresentará trabalhos sobre a categoria TPA e sobre a arqueologia e etno-história do Médio Solimões. A escavação do sítio São João e sua análise cerâmica permitiram um vislumbre das variadas formas que os produtores da TPA ocuparam a paisagem do rio Solimões. A análise do sítio e de seu material cerâmico são a base para reinterpretar as pesquisas arqueológicas do Médio Solimões e produzir uma história regional dessas comunidades. Os dados acumulados levaram à interpretação que essa história é marcada pela formação de mosaicos de interações entre grupos ceramistas.

Full textThe Trombetas River region is one of the richest and best preserved of the Brazilian Amazon in terms of its human and environmental diversity. In this study I seek to conciliate perspectives arising from this human diversity, which is constituted by a myriad of indigenous collectives who inhabit the Trombetas River and two of its largest tributaries, the Mapuera and Cachorro, with the an perspective of archaeology. The dialogue between indigenous and archaeological perspectives had two points of departure: the landscape, involving both places that are and others that are not archaeological sites; and archaeological ceramic artefacts. Towards this end I present archaeological sites and potteries investigated by the Projeto Norte-Amazônico (Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais) and discuss these issues through the lens provide by ethnographic literature and also based on my own dialogue with Amerindians. Thus, througharchaeology and ethnography I endeavour to build a meeting of narratives about temporalities - be this through the material record, in places and in pottery, be this in the immateriality of memories and myths. I seek to understand the relationship between the archaeological longue durée and the ancestrality of indigenous peoples.

Full textBased on contextualized interpretations, this thesis sought to make a contribution to the comprehension of the history (longue durée) of pottery-producing indigenous populations of the upper Madeira region, from the perspective of Historical Ecology. The comparison of five archaeological sites from this region (southwestern Amazonia) formed the basis for these interpretations. The comparative method was further used so as to make possible an extensive discussion about different archaeological Styles and Traditions in Amazonia. The final aim was to contribute to the historiographical knowledge of ancient speakers of languages of the Tupi stock, specially the Tupi-Guarani family, and to present stylistic and chronological data which would enable the rethinking of the so-called Polychrome Tradition of Amazonia.
