What role does symbolism still play on German graveyards? A case study from Saxony, Germany
Background: In terms of the history of sepulchral culture in Germany, the customisation of gravesites with plants is a relatively recent but widespread practice in German-speaking countries. The diverse, temporally changing and regionally varying connections between plant and grave, and in particular the current relationship in relation to the original symbolism of plants in the Christian sense, have not been researched in detail and are the aim …
A bioavailable strontium isoscape of Angola with implications for the archaeology of the transatlantic slave trade
The region of present-day Angola was one of the main areas from which millions of enslaved Africans were abducted and forced to migrate to the Americas during the transatlantic slave trade. Strontium isotope (87Sr/86Sr) analysis is a useful tool in reconstructing large-scale human movements across geologically distinct landscapes in archaeological and forensic contexts. However, the absence of environmental 87Sr/86Sr reference data from Angola hi…
Ethnobotanical studies of plant resources of Taftan Mountain, Sistan and Baluchestan in southeastern region of Iran
Abadi BRH, Neinhuis C, Safaeian R, Lautenschläger T. 2023. Ethnobotanical studies of plant resources of Taftan Mountain, Sistan and Baluchestan in southeastern region of Iran. Asian J Ethnobiol 6: 75-117. Due to poverty, lack of proper access to cities, the inadequacy of health services, and the availability of indigenous remedies, plant usage still is an important part of the cultural heritage in Baluchestan, Iran. Our study was conducted betwee…
Economic Potential of Selected Native Plants from Cuanza Norte, Northern Angola
Medicinal plants of northern Angola and their anti-inflammatory properties
First large-scale ethnobotanical survey in the province of Uíge, northern Angola
While the study area is large, no significant influence of the distance in regard to species composition in traditional healer's concepts of the respective village was pointed out. Although several plants were just mentioned by women or men, respectively, no significant restriction to gender-specific illnesses in medical plant use could be found. Merely concerning the age of informants, a slight shift could be detected. Visual representation of t…
Plants from disturbed savannah vegetation and their usage by Bakongo tribes in Uíge, Northern Angola
BACKGROUND: This study represents the first in-depth ethnobotanical study in the province of Uíge in northern Angola and documents the traditional knowledge of the Bakongo people living in the area. Due to deforestation and frequent fires, degraded savannahs dominate the landscape in the study region. Here we provide a list of useful plants from these savannahs including quantitative data about cultural importance of the respective species, aimin…
