Georeferencing Method
Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Locality description states the site to be west of Lago Erepecu, without providing the distance of offset. Since there is no way of knowing whether west of the lake was intended to mean western shore of the lake or to the west of the lake, georeferenced to the latter interpretation which is more inclusive and will entirely contain the less inclusive interpretation. Using Google Maps - Satellite View, located Lago Erepecu, which branches off from Rio Trombetas in Oriximiná, Pará. Used Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to measure the total extent of the lake; halved this distance to approximate the location of the geographic center of the lake. From the geographic center of the lake, used Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) again to measure due west to the nearest named place, Rio Trombetas; halved this distance to approximate the midpoint of this segment between the two sites. Used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates of the midpoint between the geographic center of the lake and Rio Trombetas to the west. Input coordinates, linear extent (distance from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of the segment between the sites, 17095.7 m.), and measurement error (.1 m.) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Offset: Direction only, no distance). Site is located on the western shore of Lago Erepecu.
