Spatial analysis of Amazonian Dark Earth formation supports an anthropic origin at the Caldeirão site, Brazil
Ferralsols and plinthosols derived from the degradation of crusts of the Serra dos Martins formation in the brazilian semiarid region
In a landscape characterized by etchplanation under a semi-arid climate, with summits formed by mesetas and ferruginous crusts, found in the states of Paraíba and Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil, there is pedogenesis of Ferralsols (meseta cores) and Plinthosols (meseta edges). This research aims to characterize soils derived from the alteration of the ferruginous crust of the Serra dos Martins Formation. The studied soils were cataloged in the munici…
Archaeology and ethnography demonstrate a human origin for Amazonian Dark Earths
Archaeological research provides clear evidence that the widespread formation of Amazonian Dark Earths (ADEs) in tropical lowland South America was concentrated in the Late Holocene, an outcome of sharp demographic growth that peaked towards 1000 BP. In their recent paper, however, Silva et al. propose that the high fertility of ADE is not of anthropic origin but instead the result of alluvial deposition starting in the Middle Holocene (8200-4200…
Amazonian dark earths in the fertile floodplains of the Amazon River, Brazil: An example of non-intentional formation of anthropic soils in the Central Amazon region
Amazonian dark earths (ADEs) are fertile soils created by pre-Columbian Amerindian societies of the Amazon Basin. However, it is still not clear whether these soils were produced intentionally to improve infertile Amazonian upland soils or if they resulted from the accumulation of organic matter from sedentary settlements. This study characterizes the ADEs found in the naturally fertile alluvial floodplains of the Amazon River in the Central Braz…
Caracterização de um perfil de solo desenvolvido no sambaqui fluvial Moraes, município de Miracatu - SP
Escavações arqueológicas desenvolvidas no sambaqui fluvial Moraes, no município de Miracatu, SP, revelaram distintas camadas arqueológicas que resultaram na configuração monticular deste sítio. Com o objetivo de discutir o processo formativo deste sítio, foram realizadas análises físico-químicas do solo de dentro e de fora do mesmo para a compreensão das propriedades que podem ter contribuído para a caracterização das particularidades encontradas…
