Abstract

Ethnobiological studies depicting the relationships between people and their living environment will be considered in this study from the perspective of the historical moment. This chapter aims to introduce the reader to a research practice in ethnobiology that combines biological assumptions with research in history. Thus, this historical ethnobotany study will greatly emphasize the care with which documentary analysis and processing of collected data are performed.
