Long-term Land Tenure Systems in Central Brazil

Evolutionary Ecology, Risk-Management, and Social Geography

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Fundamental Issues in Archaeology ((FIAR))

Abstract

My goal here is to look at the land tenure system based on reciprocal access to foraging areas, as this relates to spatial and temporal resource variability in central Brazil. The theoretical perspective I employ is based on evolutionary ecology and risk-management theory. The approach takes into account both technoenvironmental and social constraints and was first suggested by Eric Smith (1991b)
