Ethnobotany From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Ethnobotany from " ethno " - study of culture and " botany " - study of plants ) is the scientific study of the relationships that exist between people and plants Ethnobotanists aim to reliably document, describe and explain complex relationships between cultures and (uses of) plants: focusing, primarily, on how plants are used, managed and perceived across human societies (eg. as foods; as medicines; in divination; in cosmetics; in dyeing; as textiles; in construction; as tools; as currency; as clothing; in literature; in rituals; and in social life.) Contents History of ethnobotany Modern ethnobotany Scientific journals covering ethnobotanical research See also ... edit History of ethnobotany Though the term "ethnobotany" was not coined until 1895 by the US botanist John William Harshberger , the history of the field begins long before that. In AD 77, the Greek surgeon Dioscorides published " De Materia Medica ", which was a catalog of about 600 plants in the Mediterranean. It also included information on how the Greeks used the plants, especially for medicinal purposes. This illustrated herbal contained information on how and when each plant was gathered, whether or not it was poisonous, its actual use, and whether or not it was edible (it even provided recipes). Dioscorides stressed the economic potential of plants. For generations, scholars learned from this herbal, but did not actually venture into the field until after the Middle Ages.

Luiseño Ethnobotany Home Fall Spring/Summer AIS ... Anthro The Luiseño are the most Southwestern group of Shoshonean people in the greater North American desert. The name Luiseño came from their having lived in close proximity to the Spanish mission San Luis Rey (1798-1834) which is located in northern San Diego County near Oceanside, California. Originally, the Luiseño may have been called Payomkawichum ('The Westerners') by neighboring people and Ataxum ('The People') by themselves. The Luiseño occupied parts of north coastal San Diego County and Riverside County in pre-Hispanic (before 1769) Southern California. It is theorized that the Luiseño came into Southern California approximately 5,000-7,000 years ago during severe altithermals (drought periods) from the Basin areas east of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Their Shoshonean neighbors like the Cupeño, Cahuilla, Serrano, Gabrieliño and Chemehuevi were part of this migration. The Southern California environment was dominated by scrub plant communities that include the following : COMMUNITY SLOPE GROWTH HABITS TYPICAL PLANTS Coastal Sage Scrub(0-1500') South-facing Drought-decidious;small lvs;phytotoxins

What is Ethnobotany and why is it important? The aim of Ethnobotany is to study how and why people use and conceptualize plants in their local environments. The two questions most asked are (1) how and in what ways people use nature and (2) how and in what ways people view nature. Ethnobotanists gather data mainly from living peoples in hopes of gathering a view of their past existence as well as an understanding of present uses of plants for food, medicine, construction materials, and tools. Ethnobotanical research can be a door into cultural realities as well as a way to understand the future of human relationships with this land we call Turtle Island, Bear's Back, and the Earth (Salmon 1999). The historical dimensions of ethnobotany that were largely listings of plants, names, and uses play a role in contemporary approaches to traditional plant knowledge. Most past researchers did not regard what the people thought about plants as important. The situation today is that researchers would like to include conceptualizations of plants in their studies, but do not have the methods to do this. This does not criticize ethnobotany, but rather attempts to build the framework upon which new methodological approaches can be explored. The first section briefly discusses the history of the definition of ethnobotany, then moves to a discussion of the primary methods of field research. This is followed by an overview of the recent flowering of the concept of traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) and its influence on ethnobotanical research and methods.

Heiser Jr. When Europeans first arrived, in both eastern and southwestern North America north of Mexico, they found people who were practicing agriculture, much of it with crops from Mexico. Consequently, the use of native wild plants received scant attention. This changed, however, when the Europeans penetrated the areas inhabited by hunters and gatherers. According to R. I. Ford (1986), "the traditional use of plants and animals by American Indians is better documented than for the early peoples of any other continental area of the world." Ford has brought together a number of the significant papers dealing with the use of plants and animals by the native people. Furthermore, archaeological investigations, particularly in the last half century, have also contributed greatly to our understanding of the plants used by the native North Americans. The immigrants to North America from Europe brought the Old World crops to North America, and those plants soon came to be the dominant cultivated crops in northern North America. Many weeds, a few of which were found to serve useful purposes, were also introduced unintentionally.

Tracer Bullets Find in Science Tracer Bullets Science Reference Pages Researchers Web Pages All Library of Congress Pages Rocky Mountain columbine, Illustration from Gentle Conquest Ethnobotany of the Americas Tracer Bullet 97-1 Scope Introduction Subject Headings Basic Texts ... Additional Sources of Information SCOPE Ethnobotany is a term coined in 1895 to encompass the study of the applications and economic potential of plants used by native peoples. During the first half of the 20th century the anthropological and ecological aspects of the use of plants by indigenous populations became increasingly important. However, it was during the second half of the 20th century that ethnobotany flourished and that ethnobotanical surveys, studies, and reports on explorations proliferated. These studies were fueled by the interests of major universities, pharmaceutical firms, and government agencies, such as the National Institutes of Health, who greatly expanded their programs in natural products research in hopes of finding new medicines for a variety of ills, including cancer, diabetes, and disorders of the immune system. This compilation provides sources useful in chronicling the history of ethnobotany as well as references to published materials on all forms of vegetation which the aboriginal inhabitants of North and South America used for commodities, such as medicine, food, textiles, and ornaments. Material on the interrelations between indigenous peoples, plants and society is also included. Not intended to be a comprehensive bibliography, this guide is designed as the name of the series implies to put the reader "on target."

Fundamental Botany and Ethnobotany Links Ethnobotany is the study of the relationship between humankind and plants. In its broadest context, ethnobotany includes horticultural and agricultural relationships as well as sacred uses of plants. This can also include the relationship between humans and fungi. Ethnobotany tends to concentrate on the use of plants by indigenous cultures. It is imperative to include "developed" cultures in this context, even though the relationship may be more indirect and alienated.

Ethnobotany is the study of the relationship between cultures and plants. This condensed list of western Washington plants was created by Scott Clay-Poole, PhD Find information on plants in these categories: Herbs Shrubs / Trees Conifers Lichens The plants are listed by scientific name and common name. The plants are initially listed as those found at cultural sites along the right-of-way previous to highway safety improvements in the state of Washington. None of the plants listed are recommended for use . But if plant material is utilized in some way by the viewer that individual species must be accurately identified by an expert and then used with caution. Various chemicals found within these plants can be metabolized differently by various individuals, some with adverse side effects. When planning to ingest or use topically, it is always advisable to test with a small amount of any new plant first. A common additive to many of the foods listed herein as a preservative and seasoning is the rendered oil from the Eulachon (or Oolichan), the Candlefish. Raw and cooked berries, green sprouts, and cooked roots are often dipped in this oil, referred to as "grease". Sometimes it is mixed right into the food; some fruits are stored in it.
