“…Most of the Portuguese toponymies of the coast are derived from that first expedition and the following exploratory surveys (Bueno, 2009b) (figure 3). In fact, the first three villages in Brazil (Cananeia, São Vicente, and Itanhaém) are located in the coast of São Paulo, and the village of São Vicente was the base of its homonymous hereditary captaincy (Cintra, 2015).…”

In this work, we present a brief revision of the geological evidence of human activities in the coast of São Paulo (Southeast Brazil), from pre-historical times to the present. We analyze case studies in different sectors of the coast, identifying the main historical causes that resulted in environmental changes with their consequent imprint in the sedimentary column. There was a south-to-north trend in the occupation at the colonization period (1500 onwards), essentially determined by differences in the geomorphology of the area. Finally, the accumulation of artificial radionuclides and plastic debris in the sediments is discussed. Keywords: Human occupation; coastline; SE Brazil ResumoNeste trabalho, apresentamos uma breve revisão das evidências geológicas das atividades humanas no litoral de São Paulo (Sudeste do Brasil), desde os tempos pré-históricos até o presente. Analisamos estudos de caso em diferentes setores da costa, identificando as principais causas históricas que resultaram em mudanças ambientais com sua consequente impressão na coluna sedimentar. Havia uma tendência sul-norte na ocupação no período de colonização (1500 em diante), essencialmente determinada por diferenças na geomorfologia da área. Finalmente, o acúmulo de radionuclídeos artificiais e detritos plásticos nos sedimentos é discutido. Palavras-chave: Ocupação humana; litoral; SE do Brasil IntroductionThe definition of the beginning of the Anthropocene in coastal areas is undoubtedly chronologically much younger than the human occupation of the coasts itself (Menzel, 1959;Kaplan, 1980;Stringer, 2000). Actually, the definition of the base of this new epoch is, somehow, still a matter of debate, since the geological/ geochemical evidence of the end of the Holocene can be interpreted in different ways (Steffen et al., 2007;Leorri et al., 2014;Irabien et al., 2015;Zalasiewicz et al., 2015;Waters et al., 2016). It is worth observing that in different coastal and marine areas the evidence goes back to pre-Industrial ages (Crutzen and Steffen, 2003;Martins et al., 2013;Leorri et al., 2014;Irabien et al., 2015).In this paper, we present a brief review of the geological imprint of the human occupation of the coast of São Paulo (Southeast Brazil), an area of a relatively recent historical occupation, caused by different economic activities, but with geological evidence of pre-Columbian settlings. The main aim of this work is to recognize when, why and how the geological records show evidence of the beginning of the Anthropocene in this coastal area. Area of StudyThe area of study corresponds to the coast of São Paulo, a part of the arc-shaped section of the Brazilian margin known as São Paulo Bight (Zembruscki, 1979) (figure 1). This coastal sector has been divided into different forms. According to Muehe (1998), it is divided into two different compartments, the Northern Crystalline Scarps Littoral and the Coastal Plains and Estuaries Littoral, the difference between them being essentially related to the position of the Serra do Mar mou...

“…This engineer then went to serve the Portuguese monarch and was sent to Brazil. In the colony, he was responsible for the drawing and building of architectural projects destined to improve the defenses of Rio de Janeiro, Santos and Bahia, and the reinforcement of Luso-Brazilian military presence in the main ports where gold from the Cataquases mines was shipped, a presence permanently needed due to the attacks of Duclerc and Duguay-Trouin (Bueno, 2009: 124Á125; La Barbinais, 1728: 166-7).…”

As part of a reflection on Atlantic history, I intend to reread the travel literature written by Europeans who stayed briefly at the Brazilian shore, so as to learn about the Portuguese empire -and particularly Brazil- from the inside and understand how the Portuguese and Luso-Brazilians of the colony were perceived. Travelers registered their impressions based on their own principles, and in some cases exaggerated the cultural differences they observed. This rereading makes it possible to evaluate the differences between a Europe constituted by nations, kingdoms and empires, and Mediterranean Europe. The travel literature, which did not have Brazil as final destination, could have disproportionate and unsuspected repercussions. The accounts showed Portugal and its colonies as similar to Spain and very different from the rest of Europe, at a period of affirmation of the national States and aggressive imperial external policies aimed at the South Atlantic.

Desde una reflexión en torno a la historia atlántica, pretendo releer la literatura de viajes escrita por europeos que permanecieron brevemente en el litoral brasileño, para así conocer el Imperio Portugués -y muy particularmente Brasil- desde adentro y comprender cómo eran percibidos los portugueses y luso-brasileños de la colonia. Los viajeros registraban sus impresiones a partir de sus propios principios, exagerando en algunos casos las diferencias culturales observadas. Esta relectura permite evaluar las diferencias entre una Europa constituida por naciones, reinos e imperios; y la Europa Mediterránea. La literatura de viajes, cuyo destino final no era Brasil, podía tener repercusiones desproporcionadas e insospechadas. Los relatos mostraban a Portugal y sus colonias similar a España y muy diferente del resto de Europa, en un período de afirmación de los estados nacionales y agresivas políticas externas imperialista que apuntaban al Atlántico Sur

“…A escolarização da cartografia militar passou a estar presente também na formação dos engenheiros civis assim que tais cursos foram elaborados, em meados do século XIX. A prática cartográfica vai se tornando mais civil junto ao processo de formação de engenheiros civis (Edney, 1994;Bueno, 2009 Telles, 1994). Segundo o documento de criação da Academia Real Militar, o professor do quarto ano explicaria todos os métodos para as determinações das latitudes e longitudes no mar e na terra, fazendo todas as observações com a maior regularidade, e mostrando as aplicações convenientes às medidas geodésicas, que novamente dará em toda a sua extensão.…”

“…A cartografia antes voltada para os interesses militares tornou-se também uma importante ferramenta para a engenharia civil que se desenhava no século XIX. Depois dos engenheiros militares roubarem a cena da produção cartográfica dos cosmonautas dos séculos XV e XVI, os engenheiros civis se destacaram nas últimas décadas do século XIX (Bueno, 2009). Embora a base curricular de cartografia fosse similar a dos militares, o curso na Escola Politécnica formava os primeiros engenheiros denominados de civis.…”
