The cultural region of the central Andes is defined by the territorial extension of control and influence of the ancient Inca empire: to the south, the Atacama Desert - in northwestern Argentina and northern Chile -, through Bolivia, Peru and Ecuador, and ending the north, in the extreme south of Colombia. In the east-west axis, four great ecogeographic areas - coast, sierra, mountain and…
The manihot plant possesses great importance in the diet of indigenous populations of the Amazon, inhabiting not only the bodies but also the minds and cosmology of groups of the region. For a long time such importance has been projected onto the Amazonian past, and in archaeology manihot is frequently viewed as the dietary basis, or 'staple-crop', of pre-Columbian Amazon.

In the Amazon, fire possesses an important role for thousands of modern communities, present from the interior of houses to agricultural fields, and it is hypothesized that its importance in the pre-colonial past would have been even greater. Research conducted in the region point to the importance of anthropic fire in the history of people and the forest itself, being a common element in…
The main objective of this project is to instigate a reflection about plant subject in Amerindian ontologies, having as it epicenter an ethnographic research among the Wajãpi of Amapari (tupi-guarani group). This background would the guide a comparison with other ethnographic cases of Lowland South America. The proposal comprises also a dialogue with the actual botanical knowledge in orde…
