Workshop Internacional Turismo e Gestão do Patrimônio Arqueológico
(Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi, 2009-08) Pereira, Edithe da Silva; Figueiredo, Silvio Lima; Almeida, Marcia Bezerra de
he study aims to present the theoretical-methodological proposals and practical experiences discussed regarding the management, socialization, and sustainable tourist use of archaeological sites. The methodology is descriptive and expository, covering the three main thematic axes of the event: theoretical discussions on carrying capacity, zoning, and heritage education; case studies of site museumification in Brazil (Serra da Capivara, Jesuit Missions, Goiás), Portugal (Évora), and Argentina (Patagonia); and the analysis of IPHAN projects for Amazonian sites (Monte Alegre, Maracá, and Calçoene). It concludes that tourism planning integrated with the landscape and the active involvement of local communities is essential to guarantee both the preservation of cultural and natural heritage and regional sustainable development.
Pre-Columbian urbanism, Anthropogenic landscapes, and the Future of the Amazon
(Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi, 2008-08-29) Pereira, Edithe; Heckenberger, Michael J.; Russell, J. Christian; Kuikuro, Afukaka
A arqueologia das unidades políticas pré-colombianas na bacia do Rio Amazonas obriga a uma reconsideração das origens do urbanismo e das transformações de longo prazo nas paisagens de floresta tropical. Descrevemos os padrões de assentamento e uso do solo de sociedades complexas às vésperas do contato europeu (a partir de 1492) na região do Alto Xingu, na Amazônia brasileira.
Historia de la investigación sobre el arte rupestre en la Amazonía brasileña
(Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi, 2006) Pereira, Edithe
Existem muitas informações sobre lugares com pinturas e gravuras rupestres na Amazônia. Essas informações vêm se acumulando desde o século XVII até os dias de hoje e seu estudo se alterna entre periodos de maior, menor ou nenhum interesse por parte de amadores interessados no tema ou arqueólogos profissionais. Este artigo sistematiza as informações existentes e estrutura em quatro momentos a história da pesquisa sobre arte rupestre na Amazônia Brasileira.
Arte rupestre na Amazônia: um patrimônio ameaçado
(Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi, 2002) Pereira, Edithe
The work analyzes the anthropomorphic representations identified in rock art sites located on the left bank of the Amazon River, in the municipality of Prainha, Pará. Documentary and field research cataloged seven sites in the terra firme and interfluve areas, predominantly featuring engravings produced by deep incision, occasionally combined with red, yellow, and black paintings. Anthropomorphic figures constitute the most prominent graphics in the area and were classified into three main types: complete anthropomorphs, head representations (faces), and masks. Complete anthropomorphs are characterized by the full depiction of the body in three parts (head, torso, and limbs) with bilateral symmetry, frontal perspective, and anatomical detail, highlighting the suggestion of pregnancy in some figures due to the presence of a second anthropomorph inside the torso. Head representations are the most numerous and exhibit high facial detail—including eyes, mouths with teeth, and ears—a stylistic feature uncommon in other regions of Brazil. Masks, in turn, appear in reduced and stylized forms. The study also establishes thematic and stylistic correlations between the rock engravings of Prainha and anthropomorphic decorations observed in Amazonian archaeological ceramics (such as Tapajó, Marajoara, and Maracá cultures), discussing hypotheses regarding the chronology and cultural contextualization of these artistic manifestations in the region's late prehistory.
Três sítios com arte rupestre no Amapá, Brasil
(Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi, 2004-12-09) Pereira, Edithe
The article provides a systematized overview of rock art evidence in the state of Amapá, Brazil, a region hitherto poorly documented in regional archaeological literature. Based on literature reviews, the analysis of unpublished technical reports, and field observations, the author identifies and characterizes three archaeological sites: Abrigo do Tracuá and Gruta do Buracão do Laranjal, located in the municipality of Mazagão (near the Serra do Laranjal), and Pedra do Índio, situated in the municipality of Ferreira Gomes. The first two sites are part of an extensive sandstone outcrop in the Maracá River basin and feature red rock paintings, predominantly composed of pure graphic motifs (concentric circles and spirals) and rare anthropomorphic figures. An analytical comparison between historical records and recent tracings concludes that the anthropomorphic painting described in the late 19th century by Aureliano Lima Guedes corresponds to Abrigo do Tracuá (recorded by Igor Chmyz and Eliane Sganzerla in 1991), rather than Gruta do Buracão do Laranjal (recorded by Klaus Hilbert and Mauro Barreto in 1988). The Pedra do Índio site differs by displaying predominantly abstract rock engravings on a boulder and sandstone bedrock, which do not fit the formal characteristics of the Amazonian Tradition. The study highlights stylistic similarities between the paintings of southern Amapá and the Monte Alegre style of Pará, hypothesizing a broader geographical distribution of this style across the Amazon basin. Finally, the article warns of the advanced state of site degradation caused by natural factors, such as rock weathering, and human impacts stemming from the infrastructural expansion of the BR-156 highway and vandalism.
