Melissopalynological studies are useful to determine the floral contents and geographical origin of honey samples. The great botanical diversity in the Amazon allows bees to produce honey that is highly valuable in Peruvian culture. However, pollen analyses and labels that provide information on honey contents are scarce; therefore, people do not k...
The subsistence strategies that coastal fishing communities have developed over time are closely related to their interaction with the sea. Fishing is generally the principal economic activity of the members of these communities; however, the use of botanical resources has also contributed to their subsistence through time. This is the case of the...
Along the Peruvian north coast, many towns depend on fishing for subsistence. The adoption of technological innovations has facilitated the extraction of marine resources from the Pacific Ocean by Peruvian fishermen in recent years. However, some artisanal fishermen continue to rely on traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) to create sea vessels us...
The Gramalote site is an early Initial Period (1500–1200 B.C.E.) fishing village located in the Moche valley in northern Peru. Previous research assessed the social dynamics and economic interactions within that fishing settlement. The well-preserved animal and plant record facilitates the archeological study of diet and subsistence strategies thro...

... Another global therapeutic strategy has been the use of plants to manage the impacts of nCoV2019 [10,11]. According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) there are at least 50,000 to 80,000 plant species with medicinal purposes worldwide [12] and it has been estimated that 80% of the world's population relies on the use of medicinal plants as the sole resource for health management in their territories [13,14]. Additionally, its evolution in part is due to socio-cultural dynamics and phytochemical properties [15][16][17]. ...

... The static mode is implicitly counteracted by the authors in the first mode (innovations as internal to ILK) in the Advancing theory narrative, where they make the argument that ILK is inherently dynamic (Barker and Beckford 2006;Garibay-Orijel et al. 2012;Paredes and Hopkins 2018). Dynamic (adaptive, changing) views of knowledge emphasize the local cultural contexts and situatedness of knowledge production, which are dynamic by definition. ...
... In addition, the paleoethnobotanical record of the Gramalote site (1500-1200 BCE) suggests the presence and perhaps cultivation of totora in the Huanchaco surroundings. Among these totora remains recovered are a 10-cm fragment of a small caballito de totora end showing totora reeds tied with a cotton rope (Prieto 2015); pollen grains identified in sediment samples from two human occupations (Paredes 2018); phytoliths identified from sediment samples and artifacts recovered from three human occupations (Villanueva 2014); and fragments of cords, baskets, and mats made of totora and remains of the reed itself recovered during the last period of field excavations of the site (Prieto 2015). ...
