| Abstract | |
The aim of this research is to discuss the archaeology of the Negro River, specially its lower segment, based on the analysis of two archaeological sites: Floresta and Lago das Pombas which are currently found on the middle Unini River. Thus, the proposal is to adopt a comparative approach based on other well know regions throughout Amazonia, allowing the incorporation of the Lower Negro River into the contemporaneous discussions of this vast region. Amongst the discussed issues, it was possible to highlight the initial occupation of these areas, correlated to the appearance of the so called Terra Preta de Índio (TPI or Anthropogenic Dark Earths - ADE) and the early pottery from the chronological-typological framework of Amazonian Archaeology: Pocó-Açutuba and Borda Incisa. The main objective was to seek aims to answer the broad question about the means by which the pre-colonial occupation occurred in the Lower Negro River region, trying to understand the implications of such processes to the regional social-political configuration presently observed in this basin, which has as a main characteristic the diversity in the way of occupying the spaces.
