title: From production to market: food habits and food safety of the quilombola community of baixo Acaraqui, Abaetetuba, Pará

description: Abstract This research presents the analysis of different strategies of Food and Nutritional Security (SAN) developed by the families of the Quilombola Community of baixo Acaraqui, Abaetetuba, Pará. The community is facing changes in their eating habits due the reduction of natural resources (hunting animals, fish and shrimps), decrease of the area for agricultural production and increase of the commercial value of production. Using a qualitative approach and the following procedures: participant observation, semi-structured interviews, photographic record, itemized lists and workshops on eating habits, we investigated the community and their production and food practices. We observed a higher specialization of production, decreasing the diversity of local production and of the families’ self-sufficiency; increasing in the importance of extraction of açaí as an income generator; substitution of natural products (natural juices, teas) for industrial products (coffee, soda); increase in purchasing power, stimulated both by market trades and the social benefits received (bolsa família, pension and seguro defeso). This reality has significantly influenced the production practices and eating habits of the local families, interfering with production decisions and food acquisition, making families dependent on trade and income generation in order to ensure the SAN of the quilombola families.

title: Fish, fisheries and fishermen: ethnographic notes about ecosocial processes

description: Abstract This paper focuses on three emic concepts (fish, fisheries, and fishermen) that are important to understand artisanal fishing at two beaches of Pernambuco in the Brazilian Northeast: São José da Coroa Grande and Carne de Vaca. Using a comparative ethnographic approach, I discuss these concepts as eco-social processes, supporting the concepts of social production and reproduction of Godelier and Lukács. Thus, eco-social processes are understood as an irrevocable metabolism of the fisherman with nature. Consequently, the fisherman’s work becomes a sine qua non condition for social production and reproduction of artisanal fishing as a category that at the same time constitutes and is comprised by ‘ways of being’ and by socio-economic, cultural and ecological conditions of existence. In addition, eco-social processes are social mediations linked to certain historical times, given specific environmental conditions, local characteristics and their interactions with the whole of society. An example of this is presented through the different fishing practices (with rafts, boats and canoes) and ways of the fishermen at the beaches of São José da Coroa Grande and Carne de Vaca.

title: A translation of DeBoer and Lathrap’s classic “The making and breaking of Shipibo-Conibo ceramics”

description: Abstract DeBoer and Lathrap discuss the ceramic industry of the Shipibo-Conibo of eastern Peru, documenting the passage of objects from their context in a contemporary behavioral system to their incorporation into the archaeological record. They describe the procurement of raw materials, vessel manufacture, and distribution within households, the primary functions and the secondary uses of vessels, and the pattern of ceramic discard. While not primarily concerned with classification, the authors provide useful information about native taxonomy (particularly as it relates to vessel function), and about variations among potters. In focusing on variations in vessel use and longevity, and on the processes which transform ceramic objects into archaeological artifacts, the article contributes to a growing literature illuminating formation processes of the archaeological record, and has implications for the formulations of archaeological sampling design (introduction by Carol Kramer of the 1979 version).

title: Body ornaments from the Carajás region: stone bead production in a regional perspective

description: Abstract The archaeological site MMA-02, found in the Serra dos Carajás region (state of Pará, Brazil) and associated with the Amazonian variant of the Tupiguarani tradition, was a specialized place for the production of body adornments in raw stone material, known as silicified kaolinite. Stone disc beads were the main goal of production, as evidenced by the predominance of bead preforms and cutting products among the collected assemblage. For this paper, a technological analysis was conducted on a sample of the pieces, focused on the ‘operational chain’ involved in the production of beads, with the aim of assessing choices made by those that used to frequent the site: which techniques were used and how were these enchained in successive operations for working the material. At the same time, an effort was made to understand the site both in relation to the settlement pattern observed for Tupiguarani occupations in the Southeastern Amazon, and to the Amazonian context during our Current Era, in which there is continuous reference to the circulation of bodily ornaments.

title: Slash and burn agriculture and plant cultivated on upper Maroni: comparative study among Aluku and Wayana peoples in French Guiana

description: Abstract In the late 18th century, Aluku Maroons, descendants of rebel slaves from Dutch plantations and Wayana Indians, fleeing from Brazilian slave hunters met on the upper Maroni in French Guiana. They shared the river and several techniques of subsistence, including slash and burn agriculture, and cultived plants. However our study shows that ancestor worship among the Maroons impacts their crop cycle (through the cultivation of rice) and influences their environmental management. Similarly the nature and diversity of crops differs significantly based on traditional cooking habits and practices of both populations. Aluku selected a lot of species and varieties of plants that are their own and are linked to their African roots. The Indians grow useful plants specific to shamanism (tobacco) and their traditional crafts. Moreover, their perception of nature involves different cultural practices including before clearing. This study illustrates the influence of cultural diversity on the management of agro-biodiversity and more generally on the adaptation of man to his environment.

title: Women and market: female participation and knowledge in the insertion of new species of fish in the market and in the diet of fishermen RESEX Mãe Grande of Curuçá (PA)

description: Abstract The article describes how the traditional knowledge of fisherwomen of river and sea in the town of Caratateua, RESEX Marinha Mãe Grande de Curuçá (PA), contributes to the integration of new species of fish in the marketing. The work uses a qualitative and quantitative methodology and produces data that point to a shortage of fish picture of most popular in the local market. It presents the female traditional knowledge on key species that make up the diet of fishermen, and this is a way to insert woman in the market of fishery. Data collection occurred from March to August 2012. The methodological techniques prioritized an ethnographic do, favoring the use of semi-structured interviews with fisherwomen / community seafood restaurants, being applied also 10 questionnaires to them and 9 questionnaires in market Curuçá municipality next to the fish vendors. In the interviews we observed the changes over the years, reflecting the scarcity of traditional species, both in the fisherman diet as the consumer market. The results point especially to the role of women in the insertion of new species in both spaces, private and market, since women’s knowledge means a greater perception of natural resources available for consumption.

title: Archaeobotany of the southern Brazilian shellmount: integrating evidences on the paleoenvironment and the use of forest resources

description: Abstract Woods in nature are rare evidence in archaeological sites sambaqui typology. From the evidence of wood soaked piles at the base of the site, is aimed to know the species and its functionality in the archaeological context of sambaqui Cubatão I, located in the northern region of Joinville, Santa Catarina, and based dated 3480 ± 60 BP. The characterization of the timber was performed by histological preparations and following the terminology proposed by IAWA. The determination of taxa occurred through comparison with wood reference collections. Different timber species were recognized that naturally occur in mangrove environments, lowland rainforest and sand dunes, which included the following taxa: Andira sp. (Fabaceae), Avicennia schaueriana (Acanthaceae), Bauhinia sp. (Fabaceae), Buchenavia sp. (Combretaceae), Handroanthus sp. (Bignoniaceae), Laguncularia racemosa (Combretaceae), Ocotea sp. (Lauraceae), Rhizophora mangle (Rhizophoraceae) Schinus sp. (Anacardiaceae) and Xylopia (Annonaceae). Among the physical properties that confer quality to the identified woods are their high overall basic density, which indicates their potential use as structural elements. Among the possible interpretations, the results suggest the use of wood to construct a platform, possibly designed to increase structural support above the mangrove swamp soils.

title: New perspectives on the archaeological cartography of the Jê in Southern Brazil

description: Abstract For a long time, the Southern Jê Amerindians were perceived through the lens of the ‘standard model’. They were considered demographically reduced, isolated and nomadic. However, recent advances in the archaeology of Southern Brazil allow us to question such model. In this paper, our main aim is to demonstrate, through the mapping of archaeological sites and their dates, that it is possible to identify areas of high population density with permanent occupation. In addition, we discuss other hypotheses based on site distribution such as the peopling of Southern Brazil by the Jê groups; the process of interaction with other populations (mainly from the Tupi-Guarani linguistic family); and about their territorial situation in the beginning of the 16th century.

title: Secondary burials with intentional manipulation in Brazil: a case study on the archaeological site Pedra do Cachorro, Buíque, Pernambuco, Brazil

description: Abstract This article reports on a case study of a secondary burial excavated at the site Pedra do Cachorro, 760 ± 30 B.P., Buíque, Pernambuco, Brazil. This site contains human bone remains of an adult male individual, whose bioarchaeological analysis revealed signs of active defleshing of the body and other evidence of intentional manipulation of fresh bones, such as cuts, fractures, blows and crushing. The methodology of analysis used to identify perimortem manipulation of bones, may help to understand the complexity of this funerary practice and its context in relation to other archaeological finds from Brazilian prehistory.

title: Philological evidence for phonemic affricates and diachronic debuccalization in Early Terena (Arawak)

description: Abstract This paper argues that early Terena (‘Guaná’) had a contrast between fricative and affricate consonants that has been lost in modern Terena. Evidence for this claim comes from the examination of late 19th century and early 20th century documents on the language. The existence of the relevant phonemic contrast is revealed not only by an analysis of the transcriptions employed in these early sources but, more importantly, by a demonstration that fricatives and affricates were treated differently in the history of the language. It is proposed that, after the early Terena voiceless fricatives were debuccalized, merging with early Terena h, the affricates started to include fricative realizations in their allophonic range. This scenario is consistent with descriptions of modern Terena that stress the ‘archaic’ character of affricate realizations of /ʃ/.
