The project tries to understand the impact of human societies and the anthropogenic and climatic legacies on biodiversity and the evolution of Amazonian landscapes over the past millennia. Utilizing the infrastructure of archaeological excavations in Sambaquis, an interdisciplinary approach will be developed to analyze plants, molluscs, vertebrate fauna, and sediments. The biodiversity around Sambaquis will be compared with data from other areas of the Amazon, seeking evidence of climate changes focused on precipitation to distinguish the effects of natural and human pressures on the landscape.
