Paleoecology , Amazonian Archaeology , and Phytoliths. Amazonian Archaeology. These misconceptions derived largely from a fundamental mis understanding of the unique characteristics of ancient and indigenous farming and envi ronmental management in lowland South America, which are in turn closely related to the cultural baggage surrounding the term "agriculture. In this sense, lowland South America breaks the mould of the Old World "farming hypothesis" by revealing cultivation without domestication and domestication without agriculture, a syndrome that has been referred to as "anti-domestication".

These discoveries have contributed to a better under standing of the cultural history of South America, while also suggesting new paradigms of environmental management and food production for the future of this critical and threat ened biome.

Amazonian Archaeology and Amazonian Ethnology. Public Archaeology and Amazonian Archaeology. The Amazon basin is accepted as an independent center of plant domes-tication in the world.

A variety of important plants were domesticated in the Amazon and its surroundings; however, the majority of plants cultivated today in the Amazon A variety of important plants were domesticated in the Amazon and its surroundings; however, the majority of plants cultivated today in the Amazon are not domesticated, if this descriptor is understood to convey substantial genetic and phenotypic divergence from wild varieties or species.

Rather, many domesticates are trees and tubers that occupied an intermediate stage between wild and domesticated, which seems to be a prevailing pattern since at least the middle Holocene, 6, years ago. Likewise, basin-wide inventories of trees show a remarkable pattern, whereas some species, called hyperdominant, are overrepresented in the record, including many varieties that are economically and symbolically important to traditional societies.

Cultivation practices among indigenous groups in the Amazon are embedded in other dimensions of meaning that go beyond subsistence , and such entanglement between nature and culture has long been noticed at the conceptual level by anthropologists. This principle manifests itself in ancient and dynamic practices of landscape construction and transformation , which are seriously threatened today by the risks posed by economic development and climate change to Amazonian traditional societies and biomes.

Archaeology , Amazonia , Amazonian Archaeology , and Social aspects of food production and ecological farming systems. A preliminary A preliminary hypothesis based on external morphological traits and the presence of typical starch grains, associates these materials to the Poaceae caryopsis. Moreover, based on their well-preserved non-charred aspect, mineralization was considered as a possible in-situ preservation process. Data from the X-ray computed microtomography MicroCT analysis showed that the internal anatomy of the samples corresponds to another type of fruit, described as a small drupe sharing characters with some Anacardiaceae fruits.

Additionally, all studied specimens contain a number of exogenous organic and inorganic elements suggesting the action of some disturbance processes on the Monte Castelo plant material. Macedo et al Amazonian Dark Earths in Floodplains more. However, it is still not clear whether these soils were produced intentionally to improve infertile Amazonian upland soils However, it is still not clear whether these soils were produced intentionally to improve infertile Amazonian upland soils or if they resulted from the accumulation of organic matter from sedentary settlements.

This study characterizes the ADEs found in the naturally fertile alluvial floodplains of the Amazon River in the Central Brazilian Amazon according to total, exchangeable, and available contents of elements and organic carbon in soil profiles. High total Cr, Ni, Co, and V content in these soils indicate that mafic minerals contributed to their composition, while higher contents of P, Zn, Ba, and Sr indicate anthropic enrichment.

The presence of ADEs in floodplain areas strongly indicates non-intentional anthropic fertilization of the alluvial soils, which naturally contain levels of P, Ca, Zn, and Cu higher than those needed to cultivate common plants.

The presence of archaeological sites in the floodplains also shows that pre-Columbian populations lived in these regions as well as on bluffs above the Amazon River.

Ancient exchange networks in the Central Amazon more. It is accepted that many Amazonian indigenous societies are organized along regional networks connecting local communities. Such a regional dimension, at least as it is known today, includes the circulation of people and goods over Such a regional dimension, at least as it is known today, includes the circulation of people and goods over sometimes fairly large areas.

In many cases, these regional spheres of interaction are multilingual and range over areas with different ecological characteristics. There are two major sources of information for spheres of interaction: historical and ethnographic. The former consists of primary sources produced during the colonial period and secondary sources resulting from reanalysis of the primary data, and the latter are ethnographic.

There are, however, still few archaeological data concerning ancient, precolumbian spheres of interaction. This chapter provides an initial step in this direction through instrumental neutron activation analysis INAA on ceramic assemblages excavated from two distinct but contemporary archaeological sites in the central Amazon of Brazil occupied from the middle to the late first millennium AD. After a brief review of the ethnographic and historical literature on ancient exchange networks in the Amazon and northern South America, the discussion will proceed to the archaeological contexts of the central Amazon.

Then, the results obtained from INAA on ceramics will be discussed together with the archaeological correlations. Was there ever a Neolithic in the Neotropics. Plant familiarisation and biodiversity in the Amazon. The Amazon is one of the few independent centres of plant domestication in the world, yet archaeological and ethnographic evidence suggest a relatively recent transition to agriculture there.

In order to make sense of this time lag, the This concept allows them to cast a fresh eye over ancient and contemporary patterns of plant cultivation and management that may be distinct to the ones described for the Old World.

Archaeology and Amazonian Archaeology. Direct archaeological evidence for Southwestern Amazonia as an early plant domestication and food production centre more. Southwestern Amazonia is considered an early centre of plant domestication in the New World, but most of the evidence for this hypothesis comes from genetic data since systematic archaeological fieldwork in the area is recent. This paper This paper provides first-hand archaeobo-tanical evidence of food production from early and middle Holocene ca.

BP deposits at Teotonio, an open-air site located on a 40 m-high bluff on the south bank of the Madeira river. Such evidence includes the presence of local and exotic domesticates such as manioc Manihot esculenta , squash Cucurbita sp. Amazonian Archaeology and Archaeometry. I more.

Landscape Ecology , Archaeology , and Amazonian Archaeology. New evidence for subsistence strategies of late pre-colonial societies of the mouth of the Amazon based on carbon and nitrogen isotopic data more. The nature of subsistence strategies employed by the past inhabitants of Amazonia has been a widely debated topic, however little evidence has been found so far in order to support some of the proposed hypotheses.

This article contributes This article contributes to this debate by presenting new d 13 C and d 15 N data from the human populations that occupied the Marac a region of the mouth of the Amazon river, around BP years before present. It directly compares these newly generated results to previously published human isotope data from neighbouring Maraj o Island Marajoara phase, to BP , as well as other areas in the lowland Neotropics, in an attempt to build a bigger picture of the dietary habits of the Lower Amazon pre-colonial populations.

The overall results suggest that the populations that occupied the mouth of the Amazon after BP had diets based on the exploitation of fish and a wide range of C 3 plant resources, as well as possibly having a minor C 4 or CAM component.

The data presented are also consistent with an emerging consensus that there was no single adaptive pattern for ancient Amazonian populations and proposes that diversified economic strategies based on wild and cultivated plants combined with the exploitation of faunal resources could have developed over time and sustained long-term successful patterns of human occupations.

Stable Isotope Analysis and Amazonian Archaeology. Persistent effects of pre-Columbian plant domestication on Amazonian forest composition more. The extent to which pre-Columbian societies altered Amazonian landscapes is hotly debated. We performed a basin-wide analysis of pre-Columbian impacts on Amazonian forests by overlaying known archaeological sites in Amazonia with the We performed a basin-wide analysis of pre-Columbian impacts on Amazonian forests by overlaying known archaeological sites in Amazonia with the distributions and abundances of 85 woody species domesticated by pre-Columbian peoples.
