Astrocaryum chambira is an important palm tree employed for many people along the Amazonian region in handcrafts and other products, by traditional manipulation techniques. The aim of this study is to perform a physical and chemical characterization of A. chambira Burret (Tucum) fibers, comparing the obtained parameters with others from commonly employed textile fibers, and to perform the characterization of the handcrafted yarn manufactured by this traditional Amazonian community in Brazil. Reflections about the relation between this fiber and traditional communities were also made. Main characteristics were determined, namely: 90 ± 12 cm fiber length; 1.510 ± 0.007 g/cm 3 density; 10.0 ± 0.34% regain; 80.3% index of crystallinity; TGA; DTG and DSC profiles with estimated values of holocellulose (68.4%) and lignin (21.7%); and tensile tests resulting in: 37.4 ± 5.6 cN/Tex tenacity; 6.6 ± 0.4% elongation; 8.3 ± 1.0 N/Tex Young's Modulus. Siliceous bodies (phytoliths) are found along the longitudinal surfaces of A. chambira Burret fibers. The results obtained may be a database of A. chambira fibers, helping future research that will addresses its application potential as an alternative textile fiber.

Beginning in the Levant at the end of the Pleistocene era 11,700 years ago and emerging subsequently in other regions, the advent of farming and food production sustained a massive expansion of human populations, facilitated a host of socioeconomic and technological developments, and transformed much of the world’s land surface. The capacity of farming to support a rapidly growing population may appear to explain why farming first began. However, fundamental questions remain, including whether farming was ever a preferred subsistence option for mobile foragers—and for early farmers. In addition to the failure of farming to appear anywhere in the world prior to the early Holocene, the security and flexibility of hunting and gathering contrasts with the disadvantages associated with relying on farming for food. In querying the prevailing food paradigm, it is argued that fibre production for woven cloth in response to warmer, moister climate regimes in the early Holocene tipped the balance in favour of farming. Contingent on complex clothing acquiring social functions of dress and modesty during the late Pleistocene, and considered in conjunction with the early farming dispersal hypothesis, the textile hypothesis circumvents unfounded presumptions and offers a parsimonious explanatory paradigm for the origins of farming.
