“…Using Amerindian perspectivism, this author argues that the zoomorphic ceramic appliqués of some specific types of vessels, such as bottlenecks and caryatids, evidence processes of bodily transformation experienced by shamans. Schaan (2001) discussed the role of women shamans among the Marajoara, and Barreto (2016) has shown that shamanic objects were distributed in stylistic flows involving different regions in the pre-colonial Amazon.…”

This work aims to apply the theories of new materialities to the study of the material culture of the Formoso stilt village, a pre-colonial settlement from the ninth–tenth centuries ad, located in the Baixada Maranhense. Appliqués of the pottery bowls at this archaeological site present cosmological information regarding the transformation or metamorphosis of bodies, aspects that are fertile for the discussion of shamanism in the lowlands of South America, especially the Amazon. Classic concepts of anthropological ethnography applied to archaeology are used, contributing to the discussion on the diversity of ways to manufacture the body in the Amazon in its easternmost portion, such as that of the Master of Animals, a supernatural entity metamorphosed by the shaman and who could also have been part of the cosmology of the lake peoples of Maranhão, Brazil. Two artifacts depicting beings that have their feet turned backwards may be associated with the Curupira, thus evidencing a long-lasting history of this supernatural being that was recorded both in colonial documentation and in indigenous ethnography.

“…Linhares documenta bem esse processo e conclui que há uma longa e intrincada construção de um discurso político de espetacularização da arte marajoara na construção de grupos de poder ao longo da história da Amazônia e de sua representação em nível nacional (LINHARES, 2017;HENRIQUE;LINHARES, 2019). Outras apropriações e ressignificações dessas cerâmicas também se fazem presentes na cultura popular paraense ou no discurso atual de resistência indígena (BARRETO, 2020;BEZERRA, 2020).…”

Este artigo se propõe a recuperar informações sobre a história de vida de uma importante urna funerária marajoara que integra o acervo arqueológico do Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi, de modo a refletir sobre ações museais que tendem a desconectar objetos de seus contextos e individualizá-los. Ao analisarmos outros objetos encontrados no mesmo contexto arqueológico e evidenciar sua individualização e visibilização privilegiada em ações de extroversão, percebemos a construção de uma relação diferenciada entre objeto e público. A partir da análise de sua história de vida, avaliamos que uma nova proposta de alocação espacial da urna dentro da reserva técnica, junto às peças de seu contexto original de deposição, pode trazer novas possibilidades de releituras e ressignificações às coleções arqueológicas.

“…Studies of turtles in the Eastern Amazon remain limited. Lack of data on the biology of the species in its natural habitat as well as the effects of environmental and ecological variables on the species' occurrence hinders the implementation of management actions and more efficient conservation policies (Barreto, Ribeiro, and Nascimento 2011).…”

The use of turtles for food or breeding is a traditional practice in the Baixada Maranhense Environmental Protection Area (EPA), which is composed of wetlands of high conservation value. However, species such as Kinosternon scorpioides, a semi-aquatic Amazon turtle , are threatened by direct harvesting and habitat loss. Local knowledge of biodiversity has been used to understand these practices and to control these problems as a theoretical basis in research on the use and management of natural resources and conservation. This work aimed to analyze the traditional knowledge of riverside communities on the biology, habitat, capture methods, forms of use, and conservation of turtles in the Baixada Maranhense. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with inhabitants of riverside communities. Based on our results, turtle species are commonly caught in fishing activities (54.71 percent of the interviewees) or by burning (32.35 percent), a practice with great environmental impacts. 41.77 percent of respondents capture these animals for consumption and prefer the K scorpioides, which also has cultural and medicinal importance for the riverside communities. 89 percent of the interviewees report no knowledge of either the structure and function of an EPA or how resource management works, compromising the sustainability principles and operation of this Conservation Unit (C.U.). It is concluded that capture of turtles is one of the reasons for the decrease in natural stocks of K scorpioides. Strategies for management and conservation of the Baixada Maranhense EPA resources are proposed.
