A dinâmica do uso da terra nos locais onde há sítios arqueológicos: o caso da comunidade Cai N água, Manaquiri AM

Abstract

This work was carried out in the community falls into the water in Manaquiri AM. The aim was to study the dynamics of land use where there are traces of human occupation or fragments Amerindian preterit. The path in search results was the implementation of open interviews and hiking along a 7.5 km. After the phases of the field reached the standards of how it is done using the soil as the calendar, whose determination is defined and organized by the rise, full, descent and siltation of rivers, lakes and streams. Therefore, there are three patterns of land use dynamics. The first is in practices of family farms and plantations of several species that are used in diet and in folk medicine. The second is the use of pasture for livestock. The cattle stays for six months in the area of terraces or in the area of land during the flood season the rivers; in the dry season, it is transported to the wetland. The third is used in the leisure area, shipbuilding and in residential buildings and social services. Thus, 40% are used in food production, 36% in the pasture area and 14% in other service activities in the community. The introduction of livestock by households in the community area occurred around the 60´s of the last century and that process works as savings, because, if there is a need for resources to family, this resorts to the animals. And, in the region, there is a line in space-time of techniques for production of ceramics which permits to consider that the area would be one of the centers of the suppliers for model or tradition of potters
