updated at midnight GMT search nature science update advanced search Amazon was settled before Columbus' time Excavations and maps confirm forest housed advanced society. 19 September 2003 BETSY MASON Villages were linked by roads that lined up with the Sun's movement. The Amazon was densely populated before Christopher Columbus' arrival in the New World, confirms new evidence unearthed in Brazil . The finds lay to rest the notion that the region was pristine forest when the explorer landed in 1492. Support had been growing among archaeologists for the idea that parts of pre-Columbian Amazonia had sophisticated settlements, but hard evidence was lacking. Now Michael Heckenberger, of the University of Florida in Gainesville, and his colleagues have excavated and mapped 19 villages, roads, trenches, bridges, agriculture, open parklands and working forests in the Upper Xingu region of central Brazil. "The folks who lived there were clearly not simple," says Heckenberger. The area's indigenous people are still around today, but in much smaller numbers - one reason for the misconceptions about their past. "Cultural anthropologists were extrapolating backwards," explains archaeologist Jim Petersen of the University of Vermont in Burlington. "Heckenberger's work helps us understand, virtually for the first time, that there was a higher degree of cultural complexity than today."
