ResumoAbstract The development of new agricultural techniques made possible the intensive use of reduced areas, at the same time maintaining a dynamic equilibrium between environmental degradation and the needs of the inhabitants. This process has been documented for an 800‐year period at Araracuara, in the tropical rain forest of the Colombian Amazon. The stability of occupation is examined through the most important changes in anthropic soil formation and cultivated plants.
