Abstract

This paper refers to the material culture related with the agricultural systems at Cruzeiro do Sul town. The artifacts are felt as endowed with attributes of agency that go beyond their utilitarian use. They build interactions between them and individuals, and they share the same work organization in the production of manioc flour. They are products of an historical migration from the Brazilian Northeast to Amazonia and are now updated by the social system of exchange and information.
