Anahtar Kelimeler:Amazon societies,Chronicle,Archaeological evidence,Demography

Özet: The chronicle of Gaspar de Carvajal about his journey through the Amazon River is the first historical evidence that these populations were not, as it has become, neither simple nor small, but have also been taken into account. To this we must add Denevan’s eco-demographic studies on the carrying capacity of the Amazonian lands and the possibilities of maintaining large-scale human populations; the studies of archaeological remains in the Western Amazon of Pärssinen and Siiriänen that prove that the remains are in a place of massive physical force and a level of socio-political organization quite complex. It is concluded that the pre-Columbian Amazonian societies were not, as it persists in the common imaginary, small and simple, but also have the power to accommodate a large number of inhabitants, to establish as highly complex, structured and organized societies.
