Abstract
Abstract This chapter reviews archaeological evidence for ceramic occupations in Amazonia, Orinoquia, and the Guianas, from their inception to around 500 AD. The underlying goal is to examine to what extent widespread pottery styles can be linked to the emergence of sedentary lifeways in this broad region. To this end, and in order to assess plausible links with the diversification and expansion of Arawakan languages, our chapter unpacks the many classificatory issues related to what we here call the Modeled-Incised matrix. Both Arawakan diasporas and regional population growth, we argue, shaped broad interaction spheres that foregrounded multiple regional pathways to sedentism during the millennia immediately prior to European colonization.
