title: Disparities and heterogeneities in the measures adopted by Brazilian municipalities when dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic

description: Abstract The article aimed to investigate how Brazilian municipalities developed measures to face the COVID-19 pandemic. To this end, a survey was conducted with data from the National Confederation of Municipalities collected in the second semester of 2020. The results showed that measures were initially adopted, such as the implementation of sanitary barriers, social isolation and the rise of the mask use; however, most municipalities have made these actions more flexible over time. In addition, it was observed that municipal entities developed actions to respond to the pandemic in a heterogeneous and uncoordinated way. It is concluded that this phenomenon is due to the fact that the federal government and the states of the federation developed precarious mechanisms to encourage inter-federative cooperation and little stimulated the coordination of activities in order to guarantee uniformity of the actions developed in the Brazilian territory.

title: Traditional ecological knowledge of vegetation in the community of Limpo Grande, Várzea Grande, Mato Grosso, Brazil

description: This study was conducted in the community of Limpo Grande, located 23 km from the city of Várzea Grande, Mato Grosso, Brazil. In order to investigate the way informants organize traditional ecological knowledge of vegetation according to its use, our research had the following objectives: i) to identify the species of each cultural domain indicated by the informants; ii) check for cultural consensus within each cultural domain; iii) to analyze the similarity of the species of the cultural domains. We used structured interviews to obtain socioeconomic data and data from the free list. The free list was analyzed by means of the Smith index, cultural consensus and multidimensional scaling. Informants defined three cultural domains based on the use of vegetation, whether the plants are those used for cultivation, are medicinal plants used to treat diseases, or are considered native vegetation with several different uses. The domain of cultural plants is represented by 107 species, weeds by 96 species and medicinal plants by 99 species. For the three domains, the existence of cultural consensus can be verified. There was little similarity between species from different domains. The criteria used by traditional communities for vegetation management and use may contribute to the development of public policies for the conservation of ecological and cultural biodiversity.

title: Mortuary rites and ceramic depositions at AM 41 and La Pointe de Balaté: rethinking the Late Ceramic Age of the Western Coastal Plain of French Guiana

description: For over 20 years the Late Ceramic Age (AD 900-1500) of the Western Coastal Plain of French Guiana and Eastern Suriname has been considered as dominated by the Barbakoeba ceramic complex as defined by the Dutch archaeologist Arie Boomert (1993). Recently, however, various excavations permit to emphasize numerous regional differences based on ceramic analysis and funerary depositions. This paper tries to go beyond general ceramic characteristics of the Barbakoeba ceramic complex in order to acknowledge regional diversity within this widely distributed complex.

title: The taste for authority and the authority of taste: cultural appropriations in the ‘arts prémiers’

description: The main actors responsible for the introduction of the arts prémiers into museums and the Western market are not, in fact, the same ones that produced them and, frequently, do not speak in the name of their interests. In the present article I investigate the first exhibition of the Musée du Quai Branly, which opened in the year 2000, in a section of the Musée du Louvre, in Paris. In the presentation of the objects in the new context, Jacques Kerchache, the main visionary behind this project, provided no room for dissonant views on the selection of the pieces. Some of the more obvious contradictions of the arts prémiers are visible in the Louvre exhibition. The criteria that dictated the musealization of the exhibited primitive sculptures reveal the inability to isolate, inside this particular aesthetic, the anthropological perspective. This article does not aim to discuss the inspiration of the first creators of these objects at the moment that they conceived their work. Instead, its goal is to question whether the creators’ intentions can be disregarded without consequences for the musealization of these objects in the European context, helping to understand this process from a sociological perspective.

title: Origins and demographic dynamics of Tupí expansion: a genetic tale

description: Abstract: Tupí linguistic groups display a wide geographical dispersion in South America, probably originated, as pointed by linguistic, from Madeira-Guaporé Region (MGR) in Brazil. The present study reviewed genetic data on Tupians for autosomal and uniparental (Y-chromosome and mtDNA) markers, using it to evaluate Tupians geographic origin as well as the demographic dynamics of their dispersion from a genetic point of view. Comparison of genetic variability and mtDNA haplogroups D frequencies suggests a scenario where MGR is the Tupí homeland. The relationship between five estimators of genetic variability (Thetas-S, -Pi, -m2, -H and -k) shows that Tupí groups from MGR and non-MGR experienced different patterns of demographic dynamics, with an ancient Tupí expansion in MGR, followed by dispersion to other South America regions, probably associated to depopulation/founder effect events. Furthermore, other recent depopulation events could also be detected in both regions. Finally, the dispersion seems to be related to patrilocality, as suggested by comparison of uniparental markers genetic differentiation. This genetic model of dispersion dynamics may have an important impact in the interpretation of archeological and linguistic data, allowing to test if female associated technologies, like ceramic, are more extensively shared between dispersed populations than those which are not female-exclusive.

title: Eidorfe Moreira and the insular aspect of Belém

description: Abstract Eidorfe Moreira (1912-1989) wrote one of the densest chapters about the insular aspect of Belem, capital of the Brazilian State of Para, and one of the most effective contributions to those who think and run this city. While rooted in the past, grounded in the present and, subtly but firmly indicating the future, the work by the intellectual Eidorfe Moreira, with its reflective strength, makes a big impression on all those who access it. Due to the quality of the language in terms of simplicity and cohesion, it has resulted in projects such as the Escola Bosque (Woodland School) Prof. Eidorfe Moreira. This project bears the name of the author and brings residents to places that relate to continental parts of the municipality, like garlands, as the author would say, and not like appendices or isolated parts. The aim of this article is to present Eidorfe Moreira’s integrative perspective on the islands of which Belém’s municipal territory is composed. Methodologically, this article is based on the interpretation of Eidorfe Moreira’s texts and of texts by other authors who theorized about such spaces.

title: Bioarchaeological study of the Los Tres Cerros site 1 (Upper Delta of the Paraná River, Entre Ríos, Argentina)

description: Abstract: In this paper we present the results from bioarchaeological studies of human skeletal remains recovered at Los Tres Cerros 1 site (Victoria department, Entre Ríos, Argentina), an anthropogenic mound occupied between 1227 and 560 years BP by hunter-gatherer-fishers and horticulturist societies, ascribed to the archaeological entity Goya-Malabrigo. Bioarchaeological studies focused on determining the age and sex structure of the sample and on osseous lesions and the analysis of mortuary practices. Results show that 16 individuals of different age groups and both sexes were buried at the site. Variations in the treatment of the dead include primary and secondary burials and scattered bone remains. Some bones show signs of thermal alterations and ochre on their surface. Evidence presented here is discussed at a regional scale relative to other sites ascribed to the Goya-Malabrigo cultural entity in the Paraná Delta, with human skeletons.

title: Indigenous objects for the market: production, exchange, trade and its transformations. Ka’apor and Mebêngôkre-Kayapó experiences

description: Abstract For many indigenous peoples of the Amazon, the commercialization of material culture provides an important opportunity to generate income. Expert artisans and many families of the villages devote their time to produce cultural objects, specifically for this purpose. Several practices and meanings are involved in the production and exchange (monetary or otherwise) of these objects. At the same time, there are constant demands from the market at the regional and national level, and it is still very difficult to create a niche for indigenous craft production. Considering the ethnographic contexts of the Ka’apor and Mebêngôkre Kayapó indigenous peoples (Alto Turiaçu Indigenous Reserve – Maranhão and Las Casas and Kayapó Indigenous Reserves – Pará, respectively),- we discuss the processes of production, exchange and commercialization of indigenous objects and the relation to market practice and logic, while also examining indigenous interpretations and positions with respect to these issues. Moreover, we examine the possible legal implications engaged in the re-valorization and protection of indigenous knowledge and heritage, as well as the environment that provides the raw materials for cultural objects. In these terms, we also consider the impact on indigenous initiatives upon entering the market.

title: Obscure cognates and lexical reconstruction: notes on the diachrony of the Xinguan Arawak languages

description: Abstract The present paper discusses evidence supporting the claim that the common Xinguan Arawak noun for ‘hand’, *wɨʂɨku, is a shared lexical innovation of this subgroup and that, in addition, a formation for ‘finger’ derived from a nominal compound with the roots for ‘hand’ and ‘head’, *kapɨ-tɨwɨ, sets Waurá, Mehinaku and Kustenaú apart from other languages of the family, including Yawalapiti. The reconstructed Proto-Arawak etymon for ‘hand’, *kʰapɨ, is preserved in the Xinguan Arawak languages only in the form of obscure cognates, instantiating interesting developments in lexical semantics as well as a relatively uncommon sound change in Yawalapiti. The discussion incorporates and addresses the historical linguistic significance of the earliest documentation of the Xinguan Arawak languages, the material gathered by Karl von den Steinen in 1887-1888. The analyses and data discussed highlight serious shortcomings in some of the reconstructed forms and diachronic developments advanced by Payne (1991), such as the postulation of a shift *a &gt; ɨ in Waurá and the reconstruction of syllable-final *h for the Proto-Arawak language, one of the most controversial aspects of his comparative study.

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.
