A pattern of accidental stone-tool finds in the terra firme of the Curua river in the middle Xingu basin suggest a widespread occupation by preceramic hunter-gatherers there, contrary to expectations that the tropical rainforest has insufficient food resources away from the Amazon floodplain. The stone tools include finely flaked stemmed projectile points possibly related to some from terminal Pleistocene contexts at Caverna da Pedra Pintada, Monte Alegre. The food remains with the Monte Alegre tools were from broad-spectrum rupestral and riverine forest foraging. The Xingu points were recovered by artisanal gold-miners in sands and gravels under the Curua river. The miners come across the tools while digging and screening gold-bearing sediments. Those deposits also sometimes contain plant remains and prehistoric wooden artifacts, potential sources of information about ancient habitat, subsistence, and technology. The research team of the Lower Amazon project traveled to several of the underwater find-sites with the miners to prepare for excavations in the future. At one site, Curupite, where miners had found a large stemmed point and a complete palm-wood harpoon foreshaft in 1986, the team used scuba equipment to survey the stream bed and mine pits and map the topography with laser theodolite.
Os computadores são usados em diversas áreas. No entanto, a utilização de recursos computacionais em sala de aula é escassa, principalmente em escolas públicas. Há uma necessidade de conscientização do uso dos recursos do planeta e um dos meios de aprendizado desta teoria pode ocorrer por meio dos computadores. Este trabalho apresenta um objeto de aprendizagem que ilustra o conceito de pegada ecológica direcionado para alunos de ensino médio. Usamos a linguagem Scratch e o formato de quiz. Sua avaliação foi realizada através de questionários por 63 alunos de ensino médio com o auxílio da taxonomia de Bloom. Os resultados mostraram aceitação por ambos os públicos.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
