People, plants, animals and other beings: a multi-perspective approach to amazonian cultural landscapes

This thesis employs a transdisciplinary and multi-perspective approach to explore how humans and a multitude of non-human beings in Amazonia interact to construct and sustain cultural landscapes. It investigates these relationships across both temporal and spatial scales, with a particular focus on the Ponta da Castanha archaeological site, a mosaic of cultural forests located in the Tefé National Forest in the middle Solimões River basin, Central Amazonia.
