Interest in explaining scientifically the enormous territorial expansion of the Tupi has been an issue since 1838, now with a consensus: a common centre of origin existed, from which the Tupi fanned out, differentiating through distinct historic and cultural processes whilst keeping several common cultural features. But there is no consensus as to where the centre was located and where passed the routes of expansion.Scholars have often asserted this hypothesis, but contributed very little scientific proof. Since 1960, archaeological (site location, radiocarbon and thermoluminescent dating) and linguistic data (glottochronology, relationships among languages) have been brought to the scene.

Ecological Concepts

Ecological concepts are being increasingly employed in archaeological explanation. Included are the concepts of the edge area and the edge effect. Archaeological data in Saskatchewan indicate that the presence of local landform-based edges influenced precise choice of habitation location by prehistoric human groups. The near proximity of a maximum variety and stability of resources to such ecological edges may have been the overriding factor resulting in site concentrations in and near such edge areas.

Archeological Site

Research at Kidang Cave of karst region of Blora starting since 2005 and still on going up to now. Study results during excavation are artifacts, ekofak, features, skeleton (grave), and a fireplace. Archaeological findings show intensively inhabited in this cave for a long timeGeosciences of geology and geophysics approach which are applied in Kidang have an important role in guiding an excavation program in the site location. Conceptual geological model is reconstructed based on karst morphology analysis and sedimentology feature of adjacent area. The geophysical survey carried out in the Kidang cave area are ground penetrating radar (GPR), geolectrical and geomagnetic survey. In this paper we are demonstrated the integrated approach of geosciences approach in revealing subsurface condition of the archeological site. GPR is an effective method at dry and smooth terrain, hyperbolic feature is identify in difference amplitude and bright form. The geoelectrical survey is targeting more general feature of the sedimentary rock thickness, which reflected by resistivity value. The geomagnetic survey result is able to located some hard or higher density rock or archeological object, which is buried in the subsurface.

Subsidence Effects

This article examines the archaeological effects of two major geologic factors, eustatic sea-level rise and land subsidence, on the archaeological site distributions of low-energy coastlines. It describes an inexpensive, quick approach to identify these effects, which exploits the interpretive value of state-maintained archaeological site location files. The application of this approach to the Mississippi Gulf Coast suggests that coastal sites older than roughly 3500 B.P. were submerged or destroyed by eustatic sea-level rise; more recent sites were affected little by this process. Among subsidence factors, endogenic or deep-earth subsidence has had little impact on local site distributions. Exogenic or surficial subsidence processes, however, are sufficient to explain the temporal gradient of tidally inundated marsh sites.
