亚马逊见证了2500年前复杂社会的出现，通过集约化农业和管理水生系统改变了热带景观。然而，人们对这些社会和环境变革之前的背景和条件知之甚少。在这里，我们证明了亚马逊西南部Llanos de Moxos的森林岛屿包含人类墓葬，代表了该地区10，600至4000年前最早的定居点。这些考古遗址及其内容代表了最早的证据，表明这些社区经历了有利于从事粮食生产的条件，如环境稳定，资源扰动，以及亚马逊热带低地领土的增加。
The Amazon witnessed the emergence of complex societies after 2500 years ago that altered tropical landscapes through intensive agriculture and managed aquatic systems. However, very little is known about the context and conditions that preceded these social and environmental transformations. Here, we demonstrate that forest islands in the Llanos de Moxos of southwestern Amazonia contain human burials and represent the earliest settlements in the region between 10,600 and 4000 years ago. These archaeological sites and their contents represent the earliest evidence of communities that experienced conditions conducive to engaging with food production such as environmental stability, resource disturbance, and increased territoriality in the Amazonian tropical lowlands.
