This biography counts the story of my father, Peter Paul Hilbert (1914-1989), archaeologist of the Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi, in Belém, Brazil, who, between 1948 and 1961, researched in the Middle Amazon. He wanted to tell stories about inhabitants who lived in the river banks and its cultures by developing an archaeology which privileged the relation between people, as well as between people and tropical environment.
