“…Also deserving more consideration are TG practices that resulted in the conservancy of part of the language and its meanings observed in their material culture and environmental management. These are facts often historically, ethnographically, linguistically, and archaeologically recorded in different times and places by people with different expertise and objectives who perceived various “empirical” and “theoretical” aspects of the TG peoples, as shown in [ 169 ]. Both ways lead to understanding the relations between the TG and other cultures, which included the appropriation and transformation of people, objects and language [ 170 , 171 ], in processes characterized by “changes within continuities”.…”

Tupí-Guaraní is one of the largest branches of the Tupían language family, but despite its relevance there is no consensus about its origins in terms of age, homeland, and expansion. Linguistic classifications vary significantly, with archaeological studies suggesting incompatible date ranges while ethnographic literature confirms the close similarities as a result of continuous inter-family contact. To investigate this issue, we use a linguistic database of cognate data, employing Bayesian phylogenetic methods to infer a dated tree and to build a phylogeographic expansion model. Results suggest that the branch originated around 2500 BP in the area of the upper course of the Tapajós-Xingu basins, with a split between Southern and Northern varieties beginning around 1750 BP. We analyse the difficulties in reconciling archaeological and linguistic data for this group, stressing the importance of developing an interdisciplinary unified model that incorporates evidence from both disciplines.

“…Food choices depend upon local customs and the presence of environments where different species grow best. Beyond everyday nutrition, plants are also sought for medicine, psychoactivity, hygiene, construction, artefacts, and magic/ritual purposes (Prance et al 1987;Noelli et al 2020). Much of this biodiversity remains to be studied in the archaeobotanical record, which is still heavily biased toward routinely-used plants.…”

Archaeology tells us how Indigenous peoples transformed nature in the Amazon over the millennia to the point that it is difficult to separate natural from cultural patrimony there today. It also shows that any kind of sustainable future for the region has to consider the rich Indigenous heritage manifested in archaeological sites and contemporary landscapes, and the contemporary knowledge of traditional societies.
