A leitura do livro Arqueologia Historica e Ambiente (Historical Archaeology and Environment), organizado por Marcos Andre Torres de Souza e Diogo Menezes Costa, e inquietante e muito instigante. Segundo os organizadores, a criacao da obra foi motivada, por um lado, pela falta de estudos disponiveis envolvendo o meio ambiente em arqueologia historica e, por outro, pelas dramaticas mudancas climaticas que estao ocorrendo em todo o planeta e pelos esforcos globais para enfrenta-los. O objetivo e oferecer novas reflexoes sobre o assunto, contribuindo para o desenvolvimento de novas abordagens, debates e conjuntos de conhecimentos que envolvam a arqueologia historica e o meio ambiente.

Historical Archaeology and Environment

Arqueologia Histórica e Ambiente

Over an approximately 1,000-year settlement history, the distribution of Native Hawaiian cultural sites across the landscape has been driven, in large part, by environmental factors. Through an exploration of the precontact ritual, residential, and agricultural sites of Kaupō, Maui, the ways soil nutrients and arable land resulted in discrete zones of production and power can be seen. With the arrival of American and British missionaries in the mid-1800s, however, these environmental influences carried forward in the differential selection of Hawaiian temple sites to be destroyed and rebuilt as Christian churches. As a result, Kaupō’s two churches (which remain functional today) can be best understood as a result of long-term ecological processes often overlooked in historical archaeology today.
