Caminhos para o passado: Oca'õ, Agõkabuk e cultura material munduruku

Abstract

his undergraduate dissertation in archaeolog presents research on unduruku - u u histor , based on our voices, on archaeolog , on material culture and on written documents, and focusses on the as yet little studied das Tropas River, which is a tributary of the upper Tapajós river. This represents a new way of doing archaeology, it is Munduruku Archaeology, guided by the knowledge and demands of the Munduruku people. Within this approach we present our concepts for archaeology, such as the agõkabuk. t is ver important for us u u to record what is not yet written in books about what we know about our own history and culture. We want to write and (re)construct our own history from oral memory, from things and places of the past, because we u u are concerned about the loss of knowledge of our history after the death of our elder storytellers.
