Design of Pre-Columbian Raised Fields in the Llanos De Moxos, Bolivian Amazon: Differential Adaptations to the Local Environment? [PDF]

Journal of Archaeological Science: Reports, 2018
This study is concerned with raised fields – impressive pre-Columbian agricultural earthworks found throughout southwestern Amazonia – in the Llanos de Moxos (LM), in the Bolivian Lowlands. We explore the complexity of coupled human–environment interactions and propose hypotheses to explain the variation observed in the design of raised fields.

A Engenharia Indígena dos Llanos De Moxos (Bolívia): evidências de uma Amazônia Antropogênica

Revista Vozes dos Vales: Publicações Acadêmicas, 2023
As pesquisas arqueológicas conduzidas desde o século XX nas planícies orientais bolivianas destacam a relação de antropogenização que os grupos indígenas dos Llanos de Moxos estabeleceram com a paisagem amazônica no período pré-colonial. Os respectivos estudos demonstram que havia em Moxos uma espacialidade antropogênica, isto é, um ambiente que foi ...

Mitochondrial DNA Diversity in the Llanos De Moxos: Moxo, Movima and Yuracare Amerindian Populations From Bolivia Lowlands

Annals of Human Biology, 2004
Movima, Yuracare, Ignaciano and Trinitario are Amerindian populations living in the Bolivian lowlands of the Amazonian basin. The cultural and genetic affinity of the peoples living in this area is poorly known, despite many archaeological studies demonstrating its importance in pre-Columbian times.

Seasonal Inundation Patterns in Two Large Savanna Floodplains of South America: The Llanos De Moxos (Bolivia) and the Llanos Del Orinoco (Venezuela and Colombia)

Hydrological Processes, 2004
AbstractInundation patterns in two of the largest savanna floodplains of South America were studied by analysis of the 37‐GHz polarization difference observed by the Scanning Multichannel Microwave Radiometer (Nimbus‐7 satellite). Flooded area was estimated at monthly intervals for January 1979 through to August 1987 using mixing models that account ...

Anthropogenic Soils From Llanos De Moxos (Bolivia): Soils From Pre-Columbian Raised Fields

Catena, 2019
Abstract Raised field cultivation (camellones) is a Pre-Columbian technique, now abandoned, which is very extensive in the Llanos de Moxos (Bolivia). The objectives of the research were to understand the effects of human actions on the morphology, genesis and characteristics (especially redoximorphic features and chemical properties) of these soils ...

Gap Analysis of Two Savanna-Type Ecoregions: A Two-Scale Floristic Approach Applied to the Llanos De Moxos and Beni Cerrado, Bolivia

Biodiversity and Conservation, 2010
The Beni savannas (locally referred to as pampas) is composed of two clearly differentiated ecoregions, the Llanos de Moxos (or Moxos) and the Beni Cerrado. Both tropical savannas are shaped to a greater (Moxos) or lesser (Beni Cerrado) by cycles of drought and flood and the labor of generation of farmers.
