Abstract

This undergradute dissertation has as its theme Quilombola Archeology: The occupation processes in Murumurutuba. The recorded stories were told by the elder, according to the memory they have of their ancestors and the histaroical remains that are inserted in the landscape. The Quilombola community Murumurutuba is located in the rural area of the municipality of Santarém-PA. The research aimed to identify the sites related to ancient occupations, the visible traces on the surface and subsurface, and, through orality, establish a recent chronology of occupation and use of the community site/space. In addition to mapping the memory sites and studying the Sítio de terra preta do Moura, identified as being one of the first places occupied by the quilombolas. The research was developed through bibliographic surveys, interviews with some residents and field activities. The results obtained show how part of the occupation of the quilombo took place, the traces left in the landscape, by specific plants or trees, make reference to the changes that occurred over time. Memory locations such as ancient paths help us in this understanding. This work intends to make evident the history of the community, where the protagonists are the residents themselves. We hope that this research will be an auxiliary tool in the quilombo titling process.
