“…Recent Amazon archaeology findings revealed the existence of pre-Colombian indigenous societies who lived in large villages, or village networks connected with roads, that could host thousands of inhabitants. They possessed large crop fields, orchards and fish farms that became obsolete after overseas epidemics decimated their population [ 67 – 69 ].…”

In the Amazon, m alaria is highly endemic in indigenous populations, which are often considered one of the last barriers to malaria elimination due to geographic isolation. Although the improvement of housing conditions is a good strategy towards the control and prevention of vector-borne diseases, such as malaria, this preventive practice has been barely undertaken in Latin America. An analysis of the architectural and urban features of indigenous Amazonian populations is essential to define and adapt these vector control measures. A total of 32 villages of 29 different ethnicities were studied and mapped by reviewing literature and visual information, and using a geographic information system. The most important architectural and urban characteristics influencing malaria were analysed according to the following categories: number of households and dimensions, supporting area, openings, materials, lifespan and location. Housing typologies found were classified within each of these variables. The results of this typological analysis included an easy-to-handle working template and revealing of features that benefit or hamper the presence of malaria vectors in Amerindians communities. Among risk factors, presence of open eaves, permeable walls, open-side constructions, large number of sleepers indoors, temporary-ephemeral houses, linear villages along stream banks, houseboats villages, poor urban drainage and villages surrounded by anthropogenic environments were highlighted. Indigenous settlements very permissive for anophelines were identified in ethnic groups, such as the Yanomami, Palikur, Paumari, Waimiri-Atroari and Wajãpi. Positive features were also recognized, including opaque and closed houses, large radial villages on bare soil, highly elevated stilted houses and the fire indoors, found among the Yawalapiti, Ashaninka, and Gavião-Parkatejê tribes. However, as Amazonian indigenous settlement typologies vary greatly even among villages of the same ethnic group, it is imperative to undertake an individual study for each community. Using the working template in Amazonian settlements it is possible to obtain data that will help researchers not only understand how architectural and urban features affect transmission, but also define vector control measures easily applicable by health authorities and acceptable by these communities.

“…O rio Negro foi foco de pesquisas arqueológicas assistemáticas desenvolvidas principalmente entre as décadas de 50 e 80 (HILBERT, 1958;SIMÕES & KALKMANN, 1987). Essa condição começou a mudar a partir da década de 90 (NEVES, 1998;NEVES, 1999;COSTA, 2009;VALLE, 2012), mas a reunião de dados disponíveis para essa área ainda é pequena se comparada a outras regiões Amazônicas onde a pesquisa arqueológica é mais bem desenvolvida.…”

“…O mapeamento desses processos vem sendo feito no rio Negro por meio da arqueologia, história e antropologia. Estudos arqueológicos nessa região, no entanto, ainda são poucos e reúnem esforços que se iniciaram na década de 1950 com as pesquisas de Peter Paul Hilbert, mas que sistematicamente só ocorreram a partir da década de 90 (NEVES, 1998;NEVES, 1999; COSTA, H. LIMA, 2006;COSTA, 2009;VALLE, 2012).…”

“…O campo de atuação da arqueologia brasileira mudou bastante nos últimos anos e essa situação é também reflexo de uma mudança mais geral no escopo da ciência (BARRETO, 1999(BARRETO, -2000HODDER, 2001). No campo da arqueologia amazônica essa questão tem circundado uma estreita associação da arqueologia com a história e antropologia (WHITEHEAD, 1996;VIVEIROS DE CASTRO, 1996;NEVES, 1999;HECKENBERGER, 2001;. Esse caráter de pesquisa é parte da resposta a uma tradição que logrou marco profundo na história da pesquisa arqueológica das terras baixas, formalizada pela publicação do Handbook of South American Indians no final da década de 40.…”

“…Esse padrão de ocupação está diretamente ligado a uma questão geológica, visto que sua ocorrência se dá em um raio de até 50m de rochas das Formações Alter do Chão e Prosperança, que servem como matéria prima(COSTA, 2009). Dessa maneira estão localizados tanto na margem direita como esquerda do rio Negro, onde se destaca as proximidades do rio Tarumã-Açu(COSTA, 2009;RAPP PY-DANIEL et al, 2011) PETERSEN, 1998;NEVES, 1999;LIMA, 2008, TAMANAHA, 2012(LIMA, 2008).…”
