Amazônia antropogênica

Abstract

The publication highlights the advances in Amazonian archaeology over the past two decades, demonstrating that Indigenous populations played a fundamental role in transforming and domesticating the Amazonian landscape long before European colonization. Based on research conducted in the Carajás Mountain Range, the work brings together archaeological, botanical, and pedological evidence showing the human influence on the formation of anthropogenic forests. By integrating society, history, and nature, the book contributes to a better understanding of the occupation of the Amazon and underscores the importance of preserving this socio-environmental heritage.
