Yet, its use as a palaeoecological tool is in its infancy in Amazonia and its effectiveness for reconstructing pre-Columbian land-use beyond archaeological sites (i.e., \u2018off-site\u2019) has so far received little critical attention. In a new paper led by James Hill and published in the journal Quarternary, we examined both new and previously published soil phytolith data from SW Amazonia to assess the robustness of this proxy for reconstructing pre-Columbian land-use.<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<section id=\"html-abstract\" class=\"html-abstract\">\n<div class=\"html-p\">We conducted the study via off-site soil pits radiating 7.5 km beyond a geoglyph in Acre state, Brazil, and 50 km beyond a ring-ditch in northern Bolivia, spanning the expected gradients in historical land-use intensity. We found that the spatio-temporal patterns in palm phytolith data across our soil-pit transects support the hypothesis that pre-Columbian peoples enriched their forests with palms over several millennia, although phytoliths are limited in their ability to capture small-scale crop cultivation and deforestation. Despite these drawbacks, we conclude that off-site soil phytolith analysis can provide novel insights into pre-Columbian land use, provided it is effectively integrated with other land-use (e.g., charcoal) and archaeological data.<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mdpi.com\/quaternary\/quaternary-06-00033\/article_deploy\/html\/images\/quaternary-06-00033-g002.png\" alt=\"Quaternary 06 00033 g002\" width=\"908\" height=\"1276\" \/><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mdpi.com\/quaternary\/quaternary-06-00033\/article_deploy\/html\/images\/quaternary-06-00033-g003.png\" alt=\"Quaternary 06 00033 g003\" width=\"802\" height=\"979\" \/><\/div>\n<div id=\"html-keywords\"><\/div>\n<div>Access the full open-access paper here: https:\/\/www.mdpi.com\/2571-550X\/6\/2\/33<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Phytolith analysis is a well-established archaeobotanical tool, having provided important insights into pre-Columbian crop cultivation and domestication across Amazonia through the Holocene.
