“…Species such Dicksonia sellowiana (Fig 7A) is associated with Southern-Jê groups, and cited in literature as a culturally valued species that is used to prepare a traditional drink called "Mõg" [68,69]. Araucaria angustifolia (Fig 7B) appears to be associated with Southern-Jê presence, and archaeological evidence exists of its use by pre-colonial Southern-Jê groups [27,70,71]. Dicksonia sellowiana and A. angustifolia are very abundant species in Mixed Forests, as are Ilex paraguariensis ( Fig 7C) and Matayba elaeagnoides (Fig 7D).…”

Pre-colonial Amerindian legacies in forest composition of southern Brazil

Past human societies have left persistent marks on forests worldwide. However, the degree to which pre-colonial Amerindian societies have affected forest structure is still not fully understood, especially in southern Brazil. This study investigated the influence of two distinct Amerindian groups (Southern-Jê and Guarani) over tree composition of forest fragments in the State of Santa Catarina. Vegetation data was obtained from the Santa Catarina Forest and Floristic Inventory (SCFFI): a statewide systematic vegetation sampling project. Archaeological data was collated from literature reviews as well as existing databases for archaeological sites occupied by Guarani and Southern-Jê groups. Using these sites of known Amerindian occupation, and corresponding environmental variables, ecological niche models were developed for each Amerindian group, predicting potential archaeological sites occupied by these groups across southern Brazil. Maps of these potential occupation sites of pre-colonial Amerindian groups were compared with 417 corresponding floristic inventory plots. Redundancy analysis (RDA) was used to identify floristic composition patterns linked to areas with a high probability of Southern-Jê or Guarani presence. Southern-Jê and Guarani pre-colonial occupations overlapped near main rivers; however, Southern-Jê groups generally occupied elevated areas whereas Guarani occupied mostly coastal areas. We observed differences in forest composition associated with the predicted occurrence of these pre-colonial Amerindian groups. Based on these results, we argue there is a relationship between tree species distribution and pre-colonial human occupation by these two Amerindian groups.

“…The third period encompasses layers VII to IX, dating to after the 16th century and being defined based on the occurrence of the exotic rodent Mus musculus starting from layer VII. This chronology, although lacking refinement, inserts GPR into a broader context of occupation in southern Brazil (Dias, 2012; Hadler et al, 2013), adding to the discussion surrounding other areas of the upper Itajaí valley (Reis et al, 2018). These chronological intervals refer to occupations by hunter-gatherer groups from the Early and Mid-Holocene and to the context of occupations linked to southern Jê groups, which began to occupy hillside and plateau areas in southern Brazil at around 3000 years BP (Noelli and Souza, 2017).…”

The Holocene

Quaternary small mammals are important proxies for paleoenvironmental reconstructions. The Brazilian record, although famous and continuously growing, is hampered by poor chronological control due to the nature of most of the published assemblages. Here, we present a taphonomic analysis and paleoenvironmental reconstruction based on marsupials, bats, and rodents (480 remains) from the Gruta do Presépio archeological site (GPR, hereafter), Santa Catarina State, southern Brazil. The site is a rock shelter located in an Atlantic Forest biome, an important biodiversity hotspot. The GPR sedimentary sequence spans the Early Holocene (8330 ± 30 years 14C BP) to recent Historical time (after the arrival of Europeans). Most of the small mammal remains were deposited by strigiforms, although for the oldest units some strongly digested remains could indicate the activity of diurnal birds or carnivorous mammals. The GPR small mammal assemblages include 28 taxa (five marsupials, nine chiropterans, and 14 rodents). Most of them indicate the occurrence and persistence of forested environments during the Holocene around the site, which is in overall agreement with regional palynological data. A major community change, implying the increment of rodents allied to disturbed ecosystems (e.g. Akodon, Oligoryzomys, Mus), is very recent and reflects human forest clearance as a signature of the Anthropocene.
