Plant use in material culture and firewood practices: Linking ethnobotany and archaeology in traditional West African villages
Woody Plants in Dialan and other Ritual Practices within the Biocultural Landscape of Niokolo Koba National Park, Senegal
We examine the ritual use of woody species in seven villages near Niokolo Koba National Park in Senegal, focusing on tree-based rituals within the Dialan belief system. Local communities reported 41 species used in rituals, with Khaya senegalensis, Piliostigma thonningii, Daniellia oliveri, and Anogeissus leiocarpa being the most frequently mentioned. Among these, Khaya senegalensis, Ceiba pentandra, Adansonia digitata, and Ficus gnaphalocarpa ar…
Local Communities and Protected Areas: Plant Use and Sources Around Niokolo Koba, Senegal's Largest National Park
Biodiversity conservation approaches in Africa have often separated human societies from nature, establishing protected areas with restricted resource use and displacing local communities. However, successful conservation and management strategies demand the integration of social and environmental priorities. To this end, we examined the use of woody plants by rural communities around the Niokolo Koba National Park (Senegal). We quantitatively as…
Echoes from an Abandoned Drum: Ethnoarchaeological Insights into Cordyla pinnata and Spiritual Culture in South-eastern Senegal
This study presents an interdisciplinary investigation into a fragmentary wooden drum found in the abandoned village of Sibi Kili, located in the Niokolo Koba National Park in Senegal. Combining ethnobotanical and ethnoarchaeological research, qualitative ethnographic interviews and wood anatomical analyses, the study offers new insights into the material and spiritual culture of Mandinka communities. Drum-related information emerged through open…
The medieval croft plužina field system in a mountain region of central Europe: The interdisciplinary record of the earthen field boundaries in Debrné, Czechia
The integration of archaeological, historical and geoarchaeological records represents a significant contribution to research into the medieval landscape. This study focuses on the medieval field system in the deserted village of Debrné, located in northeastern Bohemia, Czechia. The village features a well‐preserved croft plužina field system, a typical historical landscape of central Europe. The main and most visible elements of the field system…
Of Humans and Science. Laboratory of Archaeobotany and Palaeoecology and the Second Decade of Environmental Archaeology at the University of South Bohemia
The Laboratory of Archaeobotany and Palaeoecology (LAPE), of the Faculty of Science of the University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice (USB) was founded twenty years ago. The department is closely linked with the Institute of Archaeology of the USB in terms of staff and projects, which are mainly focused on the issues of paleoecology, archaeobotany and archaeozoology. The present paper discusses the teaching of environmental archaeology and p…
A story of abandonment: Settlements and landscape in the Niokolo-Koba National Park, Senegal
The authors present a new, interdisciplinary project focusing on the interaction between people and the landscape within abandoned and populated villages following the founding of Niokola-Koba National Park in south-eastern Senegal. In this article, they assess anthropogenic transformations from geoarchaeological, ethnoarchaeological and ethnobotanical perspectives in order to document and preserve the heritage of both displaced and settled agric…

An Archaeobotanical Onsite Approach to the Neolithic Settlements in Southern Regions of the Balkans: The Case of Vrbjanska Čuka, a Tell Site in Pelagonia, Republic of Macedonia
This paper is focused on the Neolithic tell-site of Vrbjanska uka in Pelagonia, Republic of Macedonia, where the authors have been performing archaeobotanical research since 2016. Results of the analyses of botanical macroremains and microremains (starch, phytoliths) and faunal microremains collected in season 2016 are presented in the broader context of the Neolithic in the Balkans in order to estimate the bioarchaeological potential of this sit…
