Southwestern Amazonia is considered an early centre of plant domestication in the New World, but most evidence for this hypothesis comes from genetic data since systematic archaeological fieldwork area recent. This paper provides first-hand archaeobotanical food production and middle Holocene (ca. 9,000-5000 cal. BP) deposits at Teotonio, open-air site located on a 40 m-high bluff south bank Madeira river. Such includes presence local exotic domesticates such as manioc (Manihot esculenta),...
Abstract Indigenous knowledges are being increasingly recognized as fundamental for environmental governance, ecosystem management and biodiversity conservation. However, they tend to be by Western science only when converge with scientific knowledge, while ontological differences generally treated irrelevant or unreasonable beliefs. Given this scenario, embracing difference a productive aspect truly understand these epistemologies is crucial advance fair symmetrical epistemological...
Recent evidence suggests the existence of Pre-Hispanic fisheries in savanna areas Amazon basin. How these may have functioned is still poorly known. Although many studies drawn attention to how inhabitants savannas managed deal with excess water, little has been paid understanding large and permanent populations were sustained during long periods drought. In Llanos de Mojos, one largest South America, landscape greatly affected by impacts annual, seasonal flooding inundations, alternating a...
Resumo Este artigo discute o papel que as antigas ocupações exerceram na constituição do se considera como floresta amazônica, tendo base dados arqueológicos e arqueobotânicos da transição Pleistoceno/Holoceno partindo das relações entre humanos ambientes (destacando eixos de heterogeneidade). A ocupação lugares estratégicos paisagem, a alteração permanente composição ambiente manejo uma gama variada plantas, principalmente palmeiras, levam pensar alguns conceitos sobre mobilidade...
Recent advances in the archaeology of lowland South America are furthering our understanding Holocene development plant cultivation and domestication, cultural niche construction, relationships between environmental changes strategies food production. This article offers new data on landscape management mobility Southwestern Amazonia during a period change at Middle to Late transition, based archaeobotanical analysis Monte Castelo shellmound, occupied 6000 650 yr BP located modern,...
Resumo Novos estudos arqueobotânicos mostram que a região da bacia do alto Madeira é uma área onde foram domesticadas várias plantas durante o Holoceno inicial e médio, confirmando já havia sido apontado por dados genéticos há anos. No entanto, menos acúmulo de sobre as relações entre pessoas para ocupações humanas no tardio. Na calha rio Madeira, ocorrem extensos pacotes terra preta antropogênica associados populações ceramistas viviam na 3.000 400 anos atrás. Essas deixaram riqueza...
Abstract In this work, several attributes of the internal morphology drupaceous fruits found in archaeological site Monte Castelo (Rondonia, Brazil) are analyzed by means two different imaging methods. The aim is to explore similarities and differences visualization analytical properties images obtained via High Resolution Light Microscopy X-ray micro-computed tomography (X-ray MicroCT) Both provide data about three-layered pericarp (exo-, meso- endocarp) studied exemplars, defined cell...
The paleoethnobotanical analysis of archaeological remains from two sites in central Brazil provides chronological data for the introduction domesticated plants to region. Lapa dos Bichos and Pintada, located northern portion state Minas Gerais, are within rock shelters limestone outcroppings. dry conditions at preserved both burnt unburnt organic materials, including seeds fruits that were analyzed this study. documentation is based on relative chronology excavation stratigraphy radiocarbon...
A tese de doutorado “Holocene hunter- -gatherer plant use and foraging choice: a test from Minas Gerais, Brazil” foi realizada na University of California, Santa Barbara EUA, sob orientação Michael Jochim. O foco da envolve uma abordagem paleoetnobotânica sobre o período em que plantas domesticadas foram introduzidas no cerrado brasileiro.
Amazonian Dark Earths (ADEs) are highly fertile soils in areas with predominance of unfertile soils. However, the variation nutrient availability between regions and resilience ADEs to modern agricultural use is still little known, particularly regarding micronutrient contents. Hence, present study synthesized current information ADE impacts on extractable (Cu, Ni, Fe, Mn, Zn, B) contents at different soil depths assessed detail role both depth land-use type Cu, Mn Zn nine adjacent (ADJ)...
Amazonian rainforests, once thought to be pristine wilderness, are increasingly known have been widely inhabited, modified, and managed prior European arrival, by human populations with diverse cultural backgrounds. Dark Earths (ADEs) fertile soils found throughout the Amazon Basin, created pre-Columbian societies sedentary habits. Much is about chemistry of these soils, yet their zoology has neglected. Hence, we characterized soil fertility, macroinvertebrate communities, activity at nine...
Dans cet article, nous remettons en question les modèles de peuplement des Amériques se fondant sur la notion d’adaptation à environnements pauvres ressources. Des données archéobotaniques provenant vingt sites archéologiques datés du Pléistocène final et l’Holocène initial au Brésil Amazonie démontrent un usage considérable persistant d’une grande variété plantes aujourd’hui domestiquées et/ou hyper-dominantes. En recourant aux concepts théorie construction niches, efforçons discerner...
A recuperação de macrovestígios vegetais para análises arqueobotânicas tem demandado a adaptação da metodologia empregada aos diferentes tipos ambientes encontrados nos sítios arqueológicos ao redor do mundo. Na Amazônia, sedimentos argilosos com elevado potencial agregação das partículas frequentemente dificultam dos remanescentes orgânicos e inorgânicos. Esta nota apresenta no tratamento amostras sedimento provenientes localizados na Amazônia central, destacando o uso defloculantes,...
Monte Castelo, an archeological shell mound located on the southwestern periphery of Amazon basin, is artificial forest island occupied from Middle to late-Holocene, and it contains one longest, continuous sequences human occupation anywhere in basin. Analysis fish remains investigates fluctuations communities that are markers changes paleoenvironment. The 8112 taxonomically identified document diagnostic taxa drought-tolerant (armoured catfishes, swamp-eels tiger fishes) swampy...
Native shrublands and their associated grasses forbs have been disappearing from the Great Basin as a result of grazing practices, exotic weed invasions, altered fire regimes, climate change other human impacts. forb seed is needed to restore these areas. The irrigation requirements for maximum production four key native species (Eriogonum umbellatum, Lomatium dissectum, Penstemon speciosus, Sphaeralcea grossulariifolia) were studied at Oregon State University Malheur Experiment Station...
Native grass, forb, and shrub seed is needed to restore rangelands of the U.S. Intermountain West. Fernleaf biscuitroot [ Lomatium dissectum (Nutt.)
