How many, how few, how long: pre-Columbian population density and human impact in pre-Columbian Amazonia
Author(s): Manuel Arroyo-Kalin

Summary
Assessing the landscape impact of past settlement and subsistence systems in space and in time is essential to reconstructing pre-Columbian land use in the Amazon basin. In this paper we consider archaeological and landscape evidence for past land use by examining the strengths and limitations of archaeological radiocarbon evidence as a proxy for broad demographic patterns in pre-Columbian Amazonia.
