Hi
Heres the notes and pictures for chapter one: Society and plant use over time
Sorry cant explain em all. Gotta take the class to hear the stories. Thank you.
The celestial people who ride in an anaconda canoe from the jaguar milky way gift ancestral plant cultivars to the people of the multi colored river.
Ladna & Loli eating Inga edulis.
Jonathon (in blue tunic cushma) making a hammock. Thomas doing nothing.
Wanta paca eating banana.
Loli with machete harvested fruits of goza Jessenia bataua.
Hardwood half moon shaped food processor and trough for palm and corn and other foods. You sit on a stool and rock it back n forth.
Loli adzing away at a Lauraceous tree. Don Cesareo to her right, then Cesar and Luke.
Luke riding away in the finished canoe.
Thomas clearing the perimeter for snakes in the grass.
On the Aguarico River with Loli, Cesar, and friend.
Old time irrigation in Andalucia. Original design by the Moors.
Olive tree orchard.
Olive varieties in the store along with lupines altramuces and kimbo cucumbers.
Weekend sweets rings of churros with local rush Jucus acutus.
Juncus useful as a carrier.
Local chamomile for tea.
Local carob tree flowers. Wild pigs love to eat the fruits legumes.
At the market snails and herbs to season them.
Local thyme tomillo.
Cork oak Quercus suber.
Hard corn planted for animal feed. Flood irrigated.
Pomegranates. Oranges left unpicked to rot. If the prices are low it ain’t worth picking.
Avocados. The most recently grown crop. Fetch more money per pound but not as drought tolerant or hardy as the olive.
The local tea Bidens. For drinking with a bit of cinnamon bark or for soaking tired feet after a day working on the farm.
Wild pigs rooting beneath the pines.
