For further information on Heckenberger's discoveries, see

273
Other scientists:
My descriptions of the revolution in archaeology in the Amazon
come from my interviews with many of the anthropologists and other scientists who are or were working in the field, including William Denevan, Clark Erickson, Susanna Hecht, Michael Heckenberger, Eduardo Neves, James Petersen, Anna Roosevelt, and Neil Whitehead. My information is also derived from many of these and other scholars' published research. See, for instance, “Secrets of the Forest” and
Moundbuilders of the Amazon,
by Roosevelt; “The Timing of
Terra Preta
Formation in the Central Amazon,” by Neves; and
Time and Complexity in Historical Ecology,
edited by Balée and Erickson. For a general survey of the latest scientific developments that are overturning so much of what was once believed about the Americas before Columbus, see Mann's
1491.

274
Some archaeologists now:
A team of archaeologists claims that at a site in Monte Verde, Chile, there are indications of human presence from more than thirty-two thousand years ago, which, if true, would further shatter the traditional theory of how and when the Americas were first settled.
