Teotônio and Madeira food-landscape contexts

Teotônio (site or scholarly name, not an established ancient self-designation)

Teotônio's layered sequence combines changing food practices, soils, ceramics and a river setting. Different forms of gathering, tending and cultivation need not become a simple ladder from foraging to farming.

Long occupation and plant-management context Early Holocene through later precolonial phases; approximately 9000 years of archaeological history in the site studies Archaeobotany, starch and phytolith analysis, stratigraphy, hearth dating and ceramic spatial research. Porto Velho public city orientation, Rondônia, Brazil. Approximate public orientation only, never a territorial, ethnic, linguistic, political, customary or sovereignty boundary. Not a burial, ancestral-remains, restricted rock-art or sacred-site location, private earthwork, Indigenous village or contact point for isolated peoples; no access or collecting permission is implied.
Resumen

Comunidades, paisajes y evidencias

Ríos, bosques, humedales y conexiones

The upper Madeira's river and waterfall landscape shaped local opportunities. A Porto Velho point does not locate archaeological deposits or authorize entry onto affected land.

Organización política y escala comunitaria

Different occupation episodes imply changing community organization; no single authority is inferred from the entire sequence.

Transformación colonial, patrimonio vivo y recepción moderna

Modern river infrastructure and archaeological research have changed the setting and knowledge of it. Contemporary communities are not defined by pottery phases.

Plants Microremains reveal varied practices

The 2018 study presents evidence for plant use and cultivation, retaining tentative identifications.

Source review: 2026-10-20 [S1]
Sequence Ceramics require stratigraphic context

The spatial study examines variation within the site rather than mapping each style directly onto an ethnicity.

Source review: 2026-10-20 [S2]
Deep history Preceramic occupation matters

The Goeldi study examines early and middle Holocene occupation, not only later ceramic assemblages.

Secuencia histórica

Una cronología breve y documentada

Estos hitos sirven de orientación y no constituyen una historia completa.

  1. Early occupation and plant use

    The studies document early activity without requiring every crop to appear in the earliest deposits.

    [S1] [S3]

  2. Changing soils and material practices

    Distinct deposits and ceramic contexts require their own histories, not automatic population replacement.

    [S1] [S2]

  3. Archaeobotanical study

    The study publishes micro- and macrobotanical evidence with sampling limits.

    [S1]

  4. Contextual research

    Ceramic and early-occupation studies refine site-scale interpretation.
