Supervillage Formation in the Amazonian Terra Firme: The Case of Asenona
The relatively small size of settlements in the terra firme2 zone of the South American tropical forest has been the subject of much study and debate (see, for example, Steward & Faron 1959; Meggers 1957, 1971; Carneiro 1960, 1961; Lathrap 1968; Leeds 1969; Gross 1975, 1983; and Roosevelt 1980). In general, the size of settlements (as well as settlement mobility and location) in the terra firme has been viewed as an adaptation to the natural envi…

Ethnoecology as Applied Anthropology in Amazonian Development
Social and ecological devastation in Amazônia necessitates alternative strategies for sustained, ecologically sound development. The study of indigenous ecological knowledge (ethnoecology) is shown to offer the bases for these new strategies. Six categories of folk knowledge are explored: gathered products, game, aquaculture, agriculture, resource units and cosmology. A set of recommendations for systematic ethnoecological research is offered, th…
Intensity of Cultivation and Kin Group Discreteness among Tropical Shifting Cultivators
We hypothesized that in kinship-based agricultural societies, as the intensity of use of arable land increases, the kinship groups as sociated with this use become more discrete. We used two variables: intensity of cultivation was measured by the ratio of cropping to fallowing period; kin group discreteness was measured by a Guttman scale of kin group attributes. We tested these two variables on a sample of nineteen tropical-horticultural societi…
