Arqueologia e educação patrimonial em comunidades amazônicas: uma experiência na floresta nacional de Tefé, Coari e Manaus (Am)

Abstract

The work was developed in the riverside communities of the Tefé National Forest Park and in the municipalities of Coari and Manaus, in Amazonas, with Patrimonial Education actions carried out due to the archaeological research of the "Araracanga Project” of the PETROBRAS brand. It was necessary to hold workshops on archaeological awareness, lectures, presentation of archaeological sensitization kit and photographic exhibition: "The archaeological work", as well as technical visits in the riverside localities, using the participatory planning methodology with SWOT (Strengths, Weakness, Opportunities and Threats) matrix application and highlighting the natural and cultural vocations of the visited localities. The results were considered positive, although from the point of view of educators there is full awareness that activities carried out under the aegis of education do not end only with the fulfillment of what was proposed. It is also noting the effective participation of the communitarians in the Heritage Education activities in the local riverside communities, as well as the archaeological knowledge multipliers teachers of the municipalities involved.
