Brazilian archeology is a work perspective within Archaeology that aims to work with the specific problems and conditions of archeology in Brazil.[1] Brazilian archeology proposes to combat Eurocentrism in the scientific production of the area in the country, seeking to rescue and preserve the Brazilian archaeological heritage. This perspective also began to work academically in the country through the expansion of archeology work, which used to be very concentrated in the South and Southeast regions, and which began to work throughout the country through training and performance centers in Brazilian universities.
There are several reasons for archaeology in Brazil has failed to integrate into a most prominent Latin American or worldwide context. Brazil has a large size of the territory, lacks government support, has tropical environments, lacks of monumental architecture, and Brazil's being Portuguese-speaking country; therefore, with all these factors combined, it was and still is difficult to form a well-structured Brazilian archeology.[2]
