Summary: | In 1987, the Brazilian government implemented the “non-contact” policy concerning isolated indigenous peoples to ensure their original right to their territories and the principle of self-determination, that is, the political right to refuse contact. Enforced by the General Coordination of Isolated Indigenous Peoples and Indigenous Peoples of Recent Contact, this policy seeks to produce information about their location, territoriality and way of life by investigating the material vestiges found in their territories. In this regard, analyzing the material culture of isolated peoples, which consists of artifacts, ecofacts and marks of their interaction in and with the forest, can be seen as an archaeological practice. Hence, this study seeks to improve the methods and techniques used in indigenous and archaeological work, in a complementary and cross-cutting manner, to broaden the understanding about these peoples and thus configure an archaeology of non-contact. It also contributes to the protection of endangered territories in the Amazon, many of which are inhabited by isolated populations, and can potentially add a new stratigraphic layer to the long-term history of indigenous peoples. |

Esta política estuvo a cargo de la Coordinación General de Indígenas No Contactados y de Reciente Contacto, con el objetivo de producir información sobre la ubicación, la territorialidad y el modo de vida de los pueblos, evaluada a partir de los vestigios materiales identificados en sus tierras. En este contexto, nuestra propuesta considera que el análisis de la cultura material de los pueblos no contactados, que consta de artefactos, ecohechos y marcas de su interacción en y con los bosques, puede ser una práctica arqueológica. Para ello, buscamos mejorar los métodos y técnicas utilizados en el trabajo indígena y arqueológico de manera complementaria y transversal, para ampliar el estudio de estos pueblos, configurándose en una arqueología del no contacto. Este enfoque se centra en contribuir con la protección de los territorios amazónicos amenazados, muchos de los cuales están habitados por pueblos no contactados y tiene el potencial de agregar una nueva capa estratigráfica a la historia a largo plazo de esta población.A partir da institucionalização da política do não-contato pela FUNAI na década de 1980, há uma demanda pelo desenvolvimento de métodos de monitoramento dos povos indígenas isolados, buscando respeitar sua recusa ao contato. Neste cenário, se entrelaçam a arqueologia e o indigenismo. O monitoramento tem por base a análise dos vestígios deixados nas florestas: acampamentos abandonados, caminhos antigos ou recentes, áreas de manejo florestal, armadilhas de pesca e outras marcas gravadas nas árvores, que indicam a presença humana. Se a análise dos vestígios dos povos isolados se conforma como uma arqueologia do tempo presente, então a efetivação da política oficial do isolamento criou uma prática de “arqueologia do não-contato”. Este artigo busca sistematizar uma parte do conhecimento acumulado nas últimas décadas por indigenistas, e integrá-lo à prática arqueológica, a partir da análise de ecofatos que derivam do manejo e do uso de plantas, expressos principalmente em feições antrópicas na mata.Sociedade de Arqueologia Brasileira2022-09-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revista.sabnet.org/ojs/index.php/sab/article/view/97510.24885/sab.v35i3.975Revista de Arqueologia; Vol. 35 No. 3 (2022); 137-162Revista de Arqueologia; Vol. 35 Núm. 3 (2022); 137-162Revista de Arqueologia; Vol. 35 No 3 (2022); 137-162Revista de Arqueologia; v. 35 n. 3 (2022); 137-1621982-19990102-042010.24885/sab.v35i3reponame:Revista de Arqueologiainstname:Sociedade de Arqueologia Brasileira (SAB)instacron:SABporhttps://revista.sabnet.org/ojs/index.php/sab/article/view/975/809Copyright (c) 2022 Daniel Rocha Cangussu Alves, Laura Pereira Furquim, Wlliam Perez, Karen Gomes Shiratori, Luíza Machado, Ana Carla Bruno, Eduardo Góes Neveshttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAlves, Daniel Rocha CangussuFurquim, Laura PereiraPerez, Wlliam Shiratori, Karen GomesMachado, LuízaBruno, Ana CarlaNeves, Eduardo Góes 2022-11-25T14:45:43Zoai:ojs2.revista.sabnet.org:article/975Revistahttps://revista.sabnet.org/ojs/index.php/sabPUBhttps://revista.sabnet.org/ojs/index.php/sab/oairevistadearqueologia@gmail.com || revistasab.ojs@gmail.com1982-19990102-0420opendoar:2022-11-25T14:45:43Revista de Arqueologia - Sociedade de Arqueologia Brasileira (SAB)false |
