Abstract
Abstract This chapter reviews recent archaeological research from the Lower Amazon region with a focus on the millennium before the European invasion. It argues that previous scenarios for this region centered on Marajó and Santarém chiefdoms fail to account for the diversity and complexity of social and political arrangements, as reflected in the variety of contexts and the specifics of ceramic styles, landscape engineering, and interaction spheres. Data from the Amazon estuary and Amapá coast, the northern tributaries between the Guiana shield and floodplains of the Amazon, the lower Xingu and Tocantins areas further south, the stilt house settlements of Maranhão in the east, and the center and periphery of Santarém combine to suggest that a broader geographic approach is required to understand the complex patterns observed across the Lower Amazon after 1000 AD.
