Scholars have long insisted that the Amazonian ecosystem placed severe limits on the size and complexity of its ancient cultures, but leading researcher Denise Schaan reverses that view, synthesizing exciting new evidence of large-scale land and resource management to tell a new history of indigenous Amazonia. Schaan also engages fundamental debates about the development of social complexityNew frontiers in historical ecology ;v. 3.Indians of South AmericaAmazon River RegionAntiquitiesIndigenous peoplesEcologyAmazon River RegionHuman geographyAmazon River RegionSocial archaeologyAmazon River RegionIndian potteryAmazon River RegionPetrolgyphsAmazon River RegionRock paintingsAmazon River RegionAmazon River RegionAntiquitiesIndians of South AmericaAntiquities.Indigenous peoplesEcologyHuman geographySocial archaeologyIndian potteryPetrolgyphsRock paintings981/.1Schaan Denise Pahl1962-,1517010MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910781595203321Sacred geographies of ancient Amazonia3753804UNINA
