marajó island archaeology

The researchers also set out stakes at 5m x 5m intervals to serve as datums for the geophysical surveys. Academic Press, San Diego, 1991. xxvii + 495 pp.

Such calculations are complex, requiring more double and triple integration. Some early archaeological applications there were encouraging, and beginning in 1983 Roosevelt began a collaborative project with Brazilian archaeologists, under both NSF and Brazilian support, directed toward comparing various geophysical survey methods. Quite surprisingly, there is no concluding chapter or statement in this otherwise seemingly exhaustive volume.

While excavation is to be regarded as the essence of archaeology, of course, this is perhaps the least interesting part of Moundbuilders of the Amazon. An EDM theodolite was used to map the site, with its x-y-z readings being manually entered in real time into a laptop computer (a Herculean effort, as I can attest, having done much the same thing over large areas at about this same time). This was much more difficult than they had anticipated, as setting out always is, for one must use the survey instrument as feedback for plus or minus movement readings. Key Features * Reports on the most extensive stratigraphic excavations ever of an ancient Amazonian civilization adapted to a floodplain environment * Introduces the first use of geophysics for archaeology in non-specialized language * Illustrates, for the first time, the elaborate art of a complex society that was indigenous to the tropical lowlands * Describes monumental sites, rich polychrome pottery, and the first extensive biological remains ever recovered in an Amazonian site * Proves that sophisticated archaeological, bioarchaeological, and geophysical techniques of remote sensing are fully applicable to tropical sites * Shows that the comprehensive use of such methods could revolutionize archaeology by allowing archaeologists to look inside sites rather than simply excavate them * Provides examples which prove that the theories about the limitations of the tropical environment for cultural evolution are simply untrue and were based on faulty knowledge of the region and its archaeology.

Additionally, the comprehensive use of such techniques by all archaeologists, doing fieldwork anywhere, could revolutionize archaeology, allowing archaeologists to look inside sites rather than simply excavate them. Helen Constance Palmatary, The Pottery of Marajó Island, Brazil (1950). Moundbuilders of the Amazon shows that sophisticated archaeological, bioarchaeological, and geophysical techniques of remote sensing are fully applicable to tropical sites. Irwin Scollar and his colleagues’ Archaeological Prospecting and Remote Sensing is a work of such staggering comprehensiveness in its subjects that it will probably serve the profession as our basic manual in these areas for decades to come. Check out the new look and enjoy easier access to your favorite features, Moundbuilders of the Amazon shows that sophisticated archaeological, bioarchaeological, and geophysical techniques of remote sensing are fully applicable to tropical sites. Almost all such aerial archaeological air photos are oblique, taking advantage of subtle variations in sun angle, vegetative patterning, moisture markings, and frost and snow marks as viewed from different perspectives. Such methods are necessary because excavation is destructive, expensive, and increasingly a "tool of last resort." Additional Bibliography . This may be because, after examining the complexities of the techniques of archaeological prospecting and the interpretation of the data they produce, the authors might be forced to conclude something slightly different than they optimistically set forth in the book’s introduction: that rather than an alternative to destructive and expensive excavation, the use of geophysical methods in archaeology results in unique, while complementary, information on what is contained on and in the ground. OCLC’s WebJunction has pulled together information and resources to assist library staff as they consider how to handle coronavirus issues in their communities. **Using a variety of remote sensing techniques, Roosevelt documents the existence of a major moundbuilding culture possessing monumental architecture and a rich artistic tradition on the lowland tropical floodplain of Marajo Island at the mouth of the Amazon River in Brazil, from about 400 A.D. to about 1,300 A.D.**Marajo Island at the mouth of the Amazon River is about the same size as Switzerland or Belgum. A well developed civilization existed there from about 400 A.D. to 1,300 A.D., comparable in many ways to the Inca civilization to the west or to the Aztec and Maya cultures to the north or, in some interesting ways, to the Pharonic cultures which developed at the mouth of the Nile.
