Ecologia de paisagem aplicada à análise ambiental do sítio arqueológico PA-BA-84: Alunorte em Barcarena-PA

One of the task of the archaeological research in Amazon is to understand the relationships between past human populations and tropical rain forest. Is very important to define landscape units on contextual human occupation process and thus, to integrate this environmental data to archaeological sites context. This article aims to define the composition of conceptual landscape units of the archeological site PA-BA-84: ALUNORTE, utilizing the geographic approach of the Landscape Ecology as the efficient tool on archaeological patrimony preservation policy. This systemic approach outstanding the mutual interdependency of the landscape elements and yours interactions, generating two spacial units: microenvironment and macroenvironment of the archaeological site. The taxonomic classification of the landscape units is related to distinct spacial scales of geographic units, where geosystem unit is related to major scale of the site macroenvironment analisys, while geofacies unit and geotop unit are related to minor scales of the site microenvironment analisys. The results show the effort to define the conceptual limits of the archaeological sites and boths geographic and environmental context of the use of the space for distinct activities, that involve fishing, hunting party, searching of vegetable resource, ritual practices and others, generally preserved on boths archaeological artifacts and ecofacts. ; FAPESPA - Fundação Amazônia de Amparo a Estudos e Pesquisas ; Uma das tarefas da pesquisa em Arqueologia da Amazônia é compreender as relações entre as populações humanas pretéritas e a floresta tropical úmida. É muito importante definir as unidades de paisagem no contexto do processo de ocupação humana e assim, integrar esses dados ao contexto dos sítios arqueológicos. Este estudo tem como objetivo definir a composição de unidades de paisagem atual do sítio arqueológico PA-BA-84: ALUNORTE, em termos taxonômicos, utilizando a abordagem geográfica da Ecologia de Paisagem como uma eficiente ferramenta na política de ...
