“…Meanwhile, there was no evidence whether the charcoal resulted from human burning activities or natural causes, for example, volcanic eruption. Again, the study by Silva et al (2021) was associated only with the analysis of a single ADE (site‐specific) and cannot be used for generalisation, while other well‐studied ADE sites nearby contradict the formation of ADEs from alluvial deposition (Guapindaia & Aires Da Fonseca, 2013). Notwithstanding, the study concluded that enrichment by elements, for example, P and Ca, resulted from ancient human activities, consistent with the study by Lombardo et al (2021).…”

Anthropogenic dark earth (ADE) is a category of Anthrosols (anthropogenic soils) characterised by dark colour from homogeneous charcoal inclusion and extraordinary fertility compared with non-anthropogenic soils. The study aims to provide a detailed overview of the origin and distributions of ADEs, together with their physical and chemical characteristics, to reveal their fertility status for arable land use. According to this study, most studied ADEs are well distributed in tropical (Amazonian and African dark earth) and temperate (European dark earth) climatic regions. Middens are localised, with large-sized ones well preserved in the Arctic region due to the wet and cold weather conditions. The formation of ADE is mainly associated with deliberate and unintentional ancient human activities: deposition of domestic and occupational wastes, charred residues, biomass ashes, burning, and fertilisation of fields.

“…East of the Central Amazon region, the 20-ha Cipoal do Araticum archaeological site is an ADE up to 2 m in depth. Yet, it is located between plateaus adjacent to only small headwater streams and springs (18), precluding significant alluvial inputs. West of the Central Amazon region, some of the wellstudied ADEs of the middle Caquetá River are formed on soils mantling the Araracuara sandstone massif (19).…”

Archaeology and ethnography demonstrate a human origin for Amazonian Dark Earths

Archaeological research provides clear evidence that the widespread formation of Amazonian Dark Earths (ADEs) in tropical lowland South America was concentrated in the Late Holocene, an outcome of sharp demographic growth that peaked towards 1000 BP. In their recent paper, however, Silva et al. propose that the high fertility of ADE is not of anthropic origin but instead the result of alluvial deposition starting in the Middle Holocene (8200-4200 cal BP). In order to support this argument, they marshal data and observations from a single expanse of ADE, the archaeological site of Caldeirão, and disregard or misread other studies of ADEs in the Central Amazon region. Silva et al.'s claim, an epilogue to ‘geogenic’ models laid to rest over 40 years ago, also dismisses research showing how long-term anthropic soil enrichment occurs as a result of daily practices at contemporary indigenous settlements. Here we critically review Silva et al.’s analysis and affirm that, like most ADEs, Caldeirão has anthropic soil horizons formed by burning, deposition, and reworking of refuse associated with indigenous settlement activities between 2500 and 500 BP.

“…Questionado sobre o porquê destas palavras, Tacamuí explicou que eram para estimular o fogo, para "pegar mais rápido" 41 . As folhas secas de babaçu utilizadas para atear fogo nas leiras eram o complemento da reza 42 que incitava o fogo a queimar animais indesejados, como aranhas e ratos.…”
