Cacicado, Complexidade social, Arqueologia amazônicaResumo
Os cacicados encontrados na Amazônia na época do primeiro contato europeu têm se tornado objeto de crescente interesse antropológico. Esse artigo inicia por discutir as várias teorias que têm sido propostas para explicá-los, incluindo aquelas de Julian Steward, Betty Meggers e Clifford Evans, Donald Lathrap e Anna Roosevelt. Depois de descrever as várias teorias, o autor apresenta sua própria, que enfatiza fatores ecológicos, incluindo a guerra. Atenção é dada à importante distinção entre terra firme e várzea. O foco então se volta para a arqueologia da ilha de Marajó, cuja interpretação tem sido ardorosamente disputada. O artigo conclui com a discussão mais detalhada por parte do autor sobre a formação de cacicados, apresentando duas teorias similares, mas de certa forma diferentes, sobre como cacicados emergiram, e dando suas próprias razões para favorecer uma delas.
