Ancient Hawaiian house lots and their flora: A review of Great Māhele plant claims with a special focus on Pritchardia (loulu) palms
A review of Foreign Testimony records of the Native Register from the mid-19th century Hawaiian land division program known as the Great Māhele (~1846-1854) has led to a better understanding of ancient Hawaiian house lot plantings. While a great deal is known about the management and use of indigenous, endemic and Polynesian-introduced plants and their distribution within wild and domesticated Hawaiian landscapes, the floristic composition of the…
Aménagements de la montagne et gestion de l’eau dans les hautes vallées savoyardes: (Maurienne et Tarentaise, XIII e -XVI e siècles)
L’irrigation traditionnelle en milieu de montagne a fait l’objet de nombreux travaux, notamment dans les Alpes suisses et italiennes ainsi que dans les Pyrénées. Par contraste, les Alpes françaises n’ont donné lieu qu’à des enquêtes déjà anciennes et passablement dispersées. Depuis 2011 , une petite équipe s’est donné pour tâche de réparer cette lacune. Cette contribution se focalise sur la période médiévale en reprenant une partie de ces travaux…
Hawaiian seascapes and landscapes: Reconstructing elements of a Polynesian ecological knowledge system
Early western appreciations of the Hawaiian way of life in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries suggested the pre-contact presence of highly structured regional chiefdoms and well-developed political economies founded upon elaborate knowledge of maritime and terrestrial environments. These first brief reports were substantiated and amplified in the mid- and late nineteenth-century published works of Native Hawaiian scholars who desc…

Ethnomedicine in Polynesia: Past trends and future directions
A condensed critical review of the literature on Polynesian ethnomedicine is presented. Strengths and weaknesses are assessed with regard to content, objectives, and outcome in relation to broader theoretical and methodological issues in ethnome- dical research. We conclude that more comprehensive and rigorous methodologies and problem orientations are needed, and make recommendations concerning directions for future work

Du ramassage à la cueillette. L'exemple des Allues dans les Alpes du Nord
A New Form of Gathering (A Case Study in Northern Alpes : Les Allues) Socio-economic change this century in the Northern Alps underlies formal and functional modifications in peasant gathering in the high-altitude commune of Les Allues (Tarentaise, Savoie). A move away from an agro-pastoral subsistence economy and towards a tourism-based moneyed economy has resulted in a radical drop in gathering for traditional alimentary purposes. The new form …
