  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Unable to find "Campina dos Onces;" instead georeferenced to 1 km. north of the river at 10 km. along Rio Mapuéra beginning at the approximate geographic center of waterfall Cachoeira Porteira in Oriximiná, Pará. Referred to map "Figure 1: Location map of two sites of archaeological black earth (ABD) investigated at Cachoeira-Porteira, Lower Amazon region" provided by "The ceramic artifacts in archaeological black earth (terra preta) from Lower Amazon region, Brazil: chemistry and geochemical evolution" article for location information for Cachoeira Porteira (Lima da Costa, Marcondes, et al. "The ceramic artifacts in archaeological black earth (terra preta) from Lower Amazon region, Brazil: chemistry and geochemical evolution" (2004) accessed 24 October 2013). The reference map shows that the approximate location of the waterfall is at the junction of Rio Trombetas and the mouth of Rio Mapuéra. Using the reference map and Google Maps - Satellite View, located Cachoeira Porteira. Used Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to measure approximately 10 km. (9.99955 km.) along Rio Mapuéra, beginning at the geographic center of Cachoeira Porteira. Used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates at this distance along the river, on the adjacent shore. Used Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) again to measure total extent of Cachoeira Porteira, the starting location of the offset; halved this distance to find the linear extent of Cachoeira Porteira. To find 1 km. offset: input coordinates, linear extent (1416.42 m.), measurement error (.01 m), offset direction (N), offset distance (1000 m.), and distance precision (100 m.) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Offset: Offset at a heading).
