There is loads I could put in here. I’ve decided to split this into two parts; the history and pre-history, including anything we can learn from the archaeology of the area, and a section called ‘von den Steinen’. If you are interested in the last hundred and twenty years or so, please look in that section.

Welcome to the Heart of Brazil Expedition News
Published 10 November 2006 Heart of Brazil Expedition: Progress , History and Pre-History , People of the Xingu , Von den Steinen's Xingu , Xingu River; Environment and Geography Leave a CommentHello and welcome. We will be using this news site for two purposes; first, to keep anyone who is interested in the expedition up to date with progress as we prepare for the expedition; second, to pass on background information in a series of bite-sized chunks.
To get the best from the site, we suggest that you go first to the ‘pages’ on the tabs above or in the menu on the right; we will be adding information to each page regularly. The information will first be posted in the ‘blog’ section, then transferred to the pages, so the pages are ordered oldest to newest and the ‘blog’ is newest to oldest. By using the ‘categories’ on the right to browse the ‘blog’ posts, you can read any posts that haven’t been transferred to the pages in a more relevant order.
We are new to this process, so things will probably take a while to settle down. Please bear with us until they do.
