Ancient Village or Settlement in Brazil.
The remains of approximately 90 pre-Columbian settlements in the area south of Santarém on the Amazon River. The most striking physical features include large round excavated depressions (which may be storage ponds) and plots of enhanced fertile soil.

The location given in for the town of Santarém, and not one of the ancient sites.

Note: Swedish-Brazilian research team made important new discoveries concerning pre-Columbian settlements in the Amazon. See Comment.
