This paper draws attention to archaeologies of obscured events related to the disappearance of people in Brazil during the dictatorship period. It emphasizes the political and socioenvironmental nature of the conflicts that the dictatorship unleashed, focusing on the repression against the Araguaia guerrilla, an Amazonian movement that intended to start a revolution in the 1970 s. Mobility and landscape are explored in an attempt to understand the dispositive implemented to destroy things, people and stories and make them disappear. I argue that the struggle between the armed forces and the guerrilla took a strongly spatial dimension: the military mapped the guerrilla’s landscape and its mobility flows through a heavy investment on a spatial dispositive aimed to intersect connections and suffocate resistance. Such dispositive successfully limited or exacerbated the guerrilla movements, fragmenting their supply systems and weakening their bonds with the local population. I explore the potential of archaeology to unveil hidden and suppressed phenomena and to build new narratives about the Araguaia guerrilla, which materialize the effects of the dematerializaing practices developed by the dictatorship
