Contours of the Past: LiDAR Data Expands the Limits of Late Pre-Columbian Human Settlement in the Santarém Region, Lower Amazon
Abstract
Recent studies have shown that pre-Columbian societies in the Amazon undertook significant landscape modifications, including earthworks. Our fieldwork has revealed that pre-Columbian settlements in the Santarém Region, Lower Amazon, were not limited to the vicinities of permanent water courses, as formerly often assumed. Instead, numerous archaeological sites, dating from ca. a.d. 1300 up to the time of European colonization in the seventeenth century, have been found in an upland area known as the Belterra Plateau, south of the present-day city of Santarém. These upland sites have been found to be associated with particular features in the landscape: cavities or depressions, known locally as “Poços de Água”. LiDAR data shows that a pattern of non-randomly distributed depressions extends far into the densely forested Tapajós National Forest (Flona-Tapajós), allowing us to suggest that the expansion of inland settlement extended considerably farther to the south than what has previously been established through conventional archaeological fieldwork.

LiDAR studies show expansion of settlements and structures extending considerably farther in geographic extent than previously established through conventional fieldwork.
“Like our machine learning model, these LiDAR studies show expansion of settlements and structures extending considerably farther in geographic extent than what had been previously established through conventional fieldwork.”

LiDAR studies are contributing to the growing evidence of Amazonian archaeological sites under vegetation or forest canopies.
“LiDAR studies are contributing to the growing evidence of Amazonian archaeological sites under vegetation or forest canopies (de Souza et al., 2018; Iriarte et al., 2020b; Stenborg, Schaan & Figueiredo, 2018; Prümers et al., 2022).”

LiDAR studies consistently show that settlement structures are more complex and interconnected (e.g., through road networks) than previously known.
“Moreover, these LiDAR studies consistently show that settlement structures themselves are more complex and interconnected, through road networks for example, than what had been previously known.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
