Preservação em debate: prática de educação patrimonial no bairro da Terra Preta em Manacapuru-AM

Abstract

The present work seeks to reflect on the relationship established between Patrimônio and the residents of the neighborhood of Terra Preta, Manacapuru-am. The neighborhood of Terra Preta, due to its archaeological potential, requires plans and actions that demonstrate the importance of the knowledge produced by archeology, and this knowledge can only be passed through specialized professionals and this is still a very little known universe. From the interviews and actions developed in the neighborhood, it was possible to perceive not only the impacts that these works had on the local community, but also how these actions influenced the perception of these people on the preservation of the archaeological patrimony. For the accomplishment of this work, I have tried to think of Patrimonial Education plans and actions in consonance with the Public Archeology, which seeks to understand the correlation between community and archaeological patrimony. In practical terms, the approach came through conversations with older residents of the neighborhood and Heritage Education workshops at the Joaquim Coelho school. With the data obtained through my insertion in the neighborhood of Terra Preta, it was possible to show that the preservation of the heritage is understood as ceramic "shards" left by the Indians, without much importance for the community. This traditional way of thinking and understanding the patrimony are perceived in this work, as a reflection of the actions of different actions in the neighborhood. Given these data, reflection on heritage education practices becomes essential. Keywords:
