Turismo e arqueologia na Amazônia - Brasil: aspectos de preservação e planejamento
(Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi, 2007) Pereira, Edithe; Figueiredo , Silvio Lima
This paper addresses the challenges faced by archaeological sites in the State of Pará, in the Brazilian Amazon, focusing particularly on the municipalities of Monte Alegre and Geraldo do Araguaia. Conservation units were established in these municipalities—the Monte Alegre State Park and the Serra das Andorinhas State Park—where these sites represent one of the main tourist attractions promoted by specialized agencies. The research highlighted the need for key actions to integrate archaeological heritage with tourism, including: establishing a multidisciplinary research and management team; defining preliminary site zoning; setting criteria for pristine and visitation zones; identifying areas suitable for public visits and educational initiatives; building infrastructure to enhance access and site protection; producing informational materials on research findings; and training specialized guides.
As cerâmicas dos sítios a céu aberto de Monte Alegre: subsídios para a arqueologia do Baixo Amazonas
(Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi, 2016) Barreto, Cristiana; Nascimento, Hannah Fernandes
This paper presents the initial results of ceramic analysis with materials from open air sites in the Monte Alegre region. Monte Alegre has long been known for the abundant and impressive rock art sites, as well as for the records of very early human occupation at the cave Pedra Pintada dug by Roosevelt 20 years ago. A new research project in the area, with a wider, regional approach, is now investigating the diversity of archaeological records in the area, including open air ceramic sites pertaining to the a more recent occupational period, starting around the XII century AD. The data shows that despite the proximity of Santarém, and some influence from its ceramic styles, Monte Alegre ceramics exhibit a local, particular pattern, being permeated by elements from not only Santarém (and Konduri) styles, but also by what seem to be a cross-cultural stylistic complex in the Lower Amazon, now being identified with Koriabo materials. Based on these data, the paper discusses the relation between the longevity of ceramic occupations in the area and later social developments, as well as the dynamics of stylistic flows suggested by these more recent materials in the wider context of the Lower Amazon region.
Amazônia Antropogênica
(Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi, 2016) Magalhães, Marcos Pereira
This study addresses the ancient and systemic influence of human populations on the formation and distribution of plant resources in the Amazon, challenging the dichotomy between nature and culture. Grounded in landscape archaeology, ethnobotany, and soil science (pedology), the research analyzes the transition from unconscious anthropic actions to deliberate anthropogenic practices, demonstrating that cultural species selection and environmental modeling by past communities established forests of cultural origin that develop autonomously as primary forests.
Guia arqueológico do Parque Estadual Monte Alegre
(Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi, 2017) Pereira, Edithe; Barreto, Cristiana
The Archaeological Guide to Monte Alegre State Park, developed by researchers from the Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi and UFOPA, highlights the prehistoric heritage of the Lower Amazon. Structured as an educational resource, the guide covers sites such as Caverna da Pedra Pintada and Serra da Lua, which feature rock paintings dating back approximately 12,000 years. The work promotes heritage education and awareness against the degradation of archaeological sites.
Documentação digital da arte rupestre: apresentação e avaliação do método em dois sítios de Monte Alegre, Amazônia, Brasil
(Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi, 2013-10-15) Pereira, Edithe; Martinez i Rubio, Trinidad; Barbosa, Carlos Augusto Palheta
Documentation is one of the most important aspects in the study of rock art. In Brazil, there are few studies that present the methods and techniques employed for the documentation of this kind of archaeological vestige. Most studies published in this country focus on classifications, terminology, chrono-stylistic definitions, interpretations and comparisons between graphical groups. Currently, digital photography and image manipulation softwares are very useful tools for the accurate documentation of rock art. This article presents the results of the application in the Amazon of a digital tracing method developed by the Department of Archaeology and Prehistory, University of Valencia, Spain.
