This dissertation discusses the archaeological interpretation of material culture
remains related to Tupi-guarani linguistic family; such vestiges were classified as belonging
to an archaeological tradition named Tupiguarani. A criticism of the normative approach of
culture that supported such interpretations (and conceived the tupi-guarani as resilient to
change) departs from a review of the ethnohistorical and ethnographic sources that supported
them. Since the ethnohistorical and ethnographic accounts were employed to justify a
historical continuity between the archaeological and historical Tupi-Guarani – considering
settlement patters, spatial mobility, correspondence between language, material culture, and
ethnic identity – the use of such sources are analyzed and the achieved results are discussed.
From the examination of archaeological studies in Amazonia, the supposed homogeneity and
immutability of Tupi culture in time and space is challenged. |
