摘要：O estudo sobre a ocupação humana na Amazônia Central privilegiou, até recentemente, a análise de vestígios arqueológicos mais facilmente preservados no contexto amazônico. Nos últimos anos este cenário recebeu a contribuição de pesquisas com macro e microvestígios vegetais. Neste contexto insere-se a análise dos remanescentes macrobotânicos carbonizados dos sítios Osvaldo, Lago Grande e Açutuba, que evidenciou a presença de recursos alimentícios tais como fragmentos de coquinhos (Arecaceae), tubérculos, sementes e Zea mays, além de fragmentos de madeira (lenho) carbonizados. A distribuição destes elementos botânicos entre as camadas arqueológicas indica que diferentes atividades culturais foram responsáveis pela constituição dos remanescentes vegetais carbonizados e que algumas destas prevaleceram em relação a outras em momentos distintos da ocupação dos sítios. Abstract: Until recently the study of human occupation in the Central Amazonia focused on the analysis of archaeological remains with better preservation in this tropical context. The scenario has changed in recent years with contributions from research on micro and macrobotanical remains. We add to this with the analysis of charred macrobotanical remains from the archaeological sites of Osvaldo, Lago Grande, and Açutuba, Amazonas State. In these sites, food resources such as palm nut fragments, tubers, seeds, and maize were retrieved, in addition to wood. The distribution of these botanical elements in the archeological layers suggests that different cultural activities were responsible for the composition of the record. Moreover, they suggest that at different times during the occupation of these sites the use of some types of the charred plant remains prevailed over others.
