Abstract

The ceramic chronology of central Amazon has been long debated. Some of the prime hypotheses about human occupation in the area are now been re-evaluated under a strong empirical database allied to a new theoretical and analytical corpus. This article presents part of the results of the ceramic analysis carried on a PhD research conducted within the Central Amazon Project (MAE-USP). The data compiled in this paper also provides pointers to reassess the use of traditional archaeological concepts such as phases and traditions. In the confluence area of the Negro and Solimões rivers, this permits to construct a chronology that is based on an understanding of the relationships between the Açutuba, Manacapuru and Paredão phases, related to Incised Rim/Barrancoid Tradition.
