| Summary: | "This open access book looks at the archaeology of Amazonia. Reaching back to the earliest colonization of the Amazon basin during the last Ice Age, this book demonstrates how its current diversity of landscapes, ecology and inhabitants is deeply rooted in prehistory and an ongoing legacy of human occupation and alteration of the rainforest environment. By connecting the past to the present and bringing to light the critical role of today's indigenous and traditional lands in providing a barrier to deforestation under current climate and political pressures, it lays out the way ahead to a more socially responsible future of rainforest management which draws on the lessons of the past.
