Açutuba and lower Negro settlement sequences

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

Açutuba provides an important regional sequence through survey, excavation and ceramic research. Several occupation components and changing spaces require more than one model of community organization.

Multicomponent settlement and ceramic context Late first millennium BCE through later precolonial centuries; site and phase chronologies distinguished Excavated stratigraphy, ceramics, radiocarbon associations and regional settlement comparison. Manaus public city orientation, Amazonas, 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.
Resumo

Comunidades, paisagens e evidências

Rios, florestas, humedais e conexões

The lower Negro joins the wider confluence landscape. A Manaus city point does not identify private excavation areas or draw linguistic boundaries.

Organização política e escala comunitária

Changing community scale is investigated from material evidence; the site is not a demonstrated capital of one lower Negro nation.

Transformação colonial, património vivo e recepção moderna

Modern research names and sequences are revisable. They cannot determine the identity of living river communities.

Classification A defined ceramic complex

The 2006 study introduces Açutuba as an archaeological complex rather than a biological population.

Source review: 2026-10-20 [S1]
Site Multiple occupation components

The 2008 thesis describes the site's stratigraphic sequence and several research campaigns.

Source review: 2026-10-20 [S2]
Comparison Settlement scale changed

The regional study compares Açutuba with other sites without making ceramic distributions a fixed political map.

Sequência histórica

Uma cronologia breve e documentada

Estes marcos servem de orientação e não constituem uma história completa.

  1. Regional sequence develops

    The material study distinguishes early components from later assemblages; exact dates depend on context.

    [S1]

  2. Changing settlement patterns

    The studies treat occupation and scale as historical processes rather than a single founding moment.

    [S2] [S3]

  3. Modern excavation campaigns

    The thesis documents repeated fieldwork and a developing chronology.

    [S2]

  4. Interpretations published

    Ceramic definition, thesis research and regional comparison address different questions.

A site name and a phase name are different uses of a term.

A long sequence is not proof of uninterrupted ethnic continuity.
