  • People and Plants in Northern Peru
    PEOPLE AND PLANTS IN NORTHERN PERU: AN ETHNOARCHAEOLOGICAL STUDY OF THE USE OF PLANTS IN THE FISHING COMMUNITY OF HUANCHACO A Dissertation by ROSSANA PAREDES SALCEDO Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Vaughn M. Bryant Committee Members, Allison L. Hopkins Fred Smeins Alston V. Thoms Head of Department, Cynthia Werner May 2019 Major Subject: Anthropology Copyright 2019 Rossana Paredes Salcedo ABSTRACT Ethnoarchaeology studies modern patterns of human behavior to understand and reconstruct past cultural practices as reflected in the archaeological record. The well-studied flora, the good preservation of botanical remains, and the well-known cultural groups, make the northern coastal region of Peru an ideal study area to conduct ethnoarchaeological investigations on plant uses. Huanchaco is a beachside town located in northern Peru where the local fishing community relies on traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) about the use of plants. TEK is observed in the construction of reed vessels, known as caballitos de torora, that they use daily for fishing. TEK has been transmitted since prehispanic times as evidenced in the archeological record. To understand the role of plants in the development of human subsistence strategies through time, this dissertation identifies past and present relationships between the fishing community and useful plants of Huanchaco. Modern botanical specimens were collected and identified, today’s fishermen and their relatives were interviewed about the modern plant uses, and plant remains from Initial Period (1500 – 1200 BCE) occupations were analyzed.

PhytoKeys 170: 45–69. https://doi.org/10.3897/phytokeys.170.54718 Abstract Sapotaceae is historically known as having a tricky and challenging taxonomy due to tangled morphologic heterogeneity. Consequently, this resulted in a large number of described genera and binomials. After Pennington’s Flora Neotropica work, several of those nomenclature issues were resolved. Nevertheless, many binomials remain unsolved and up for typification. Thus, following the International Code of Nomenclature for Algae, Fungi and Plants, we propose 74 new lectotype designations, four of these are second-step typifications. Keywords Ericales, historical botany, lectotypification, nomenclature Introduction Sapotaceae has 65–70 genera with around 1,250 species and is an important plant component from tropical regions in the world (Swenson et al. 2020). It is an economi- cally interesting family by providing latex-derived products such as gutta-percha and chewing gum, valuable and durable timber and edible fruits (Pennington 1990, 1991).

Lucuma (Pouteria lucuma) is a native fruit from Peru, Ecuador and Chile regions. The objective was to elaborate lucuma flour by convection drying at different temperatures and to evaluate its characteristics of centesimal and microbiological compositions and to compare the results with a product commercial sample (4). The samples were dried in a tray dryer with hot air at 2 m/s speed, at temperatures of 55°C, 65°C, and 75°C (Samples 1, 2 and 3, respectively). The total drying time of Sample 1 was longer than Sample 3, which obtained shorter drying time. The evaluated samples presented difference for moisture, ashes and fibers content.
