The City

Resumo: Muito se discute sobre o que realmente deve ser feito para gerar um amanhã mais digno e igualitário, principalmente, dentro das universidades. Com efeito, o que estamos propondo neste trabalho é a análise sobre o projeto “Adeus aos lixões”, que colocou em prática a teoria adquirida na academia, construindo dessa forma uma intervenção socioambiental na comunidade rio-grandina. São questões de pesquisa deste artigo: Quais os resultados do projeto “Adeus aos lixões”? Essa intervenção teve resultados permanentes? Na busca pela aproximação desse cenário, foram escolhidas as metodologias da pesquisa bibliográfica e análise documental. Assim sendo o objetivo disseminar e fomentar novos conhecimentos acerca da História Ambiental da cidade do Rio Grande. Palavras-Chave: História Ambiental; Resíduos Sólidos; Meio Ambiente. Abstract There is debate about what should actually be done to generate a more worthy and equal tomorrow, mainly within universities. Indeed, what we are proposing in this paper is the analysis of the "Farewell to the dumps" project, which put into practice the theory gained in the gym, building that forms an environmental intervention in the River grandina community. Are research questions of this article: What are the results of the Project Goodbye to landfills? This intervention had permanent results? In the search for approximation of this scenario were chosen methodologies of literature review and document analysis. Therefore the objective to disseminate and promote new knowledge about the environmental history of the city of Rio Grande. Key-words: Environmental History; SolidWaste; Environment.

History Of

Nine excavation seasons at Ossimo Anvòia in the Val Camonica (Central Alps, Italy) have brought to light a Copper Age ceremonial area with symbolic monoliths (statue menhirs) in their original position. Hundreds of artifacts and ecofacts indicate ideological activity during the 3rd millennium BC. A large pit (F18) was discovered that was unusual for its great size and the abundance of well-preserved charcoal. The pit housed a fallen monolith (M9) showing complicated reshaping. A detailed spatial study based on 6 radiocarbon accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) measurements combined with charcoal analysis has untangled key information to define the history of feature F18-M9. 14C data show that the burning event occurred most probably in the 4th century AD, not in prehistory. We infer a unique episode of “reconsecration” during the very latest phases of pagan cult activity in the Val Camonica. Further studies are needed to resolve the relationships with other features of the site. In addition, charcoal analysis has produced paleobotanical information for a scarcely known period in the environmental history of the area. A sparse forest with Picea abies, Larix decidua, and Fagus sylvatica existed, associated with areas likely devoted to grazing. There is a remarkable absence of chestnut.
