The dynamics of the interrelationships between human communities and wild plants used as food in Córdoba province (Argentina)

Background and aims: Gathering of wild edible plants has been a vital activity for human groups who lived in Córdoba province since pre-Hispanic period.Considering the dynamism of local botanical knowledge, the aim of this work was to systematize and analyze the information on the subject from diffe...

description Background and aims: Gathering of wild edible plants has been a vital activity for human groups who lived in Córdoba province since pre-Hispanic period.Considering the dynamism of local botanical knowledge, the aim of this work was to systematize and analyze the information on the subject from different sources regarding changes and continuities in the use and social representations about wild edible plants in Córdoba over time.M&M: Both historical documents and archaeobotanical, ethnohistorical and ethnobotanical studies from five periods, corresponding to the Late Pre-HispanicPeriod (LPP, 400-1550 AD) to the present, were analyzed. Taxa referred to as food, organs used and the processing activities carried out, were recorded in order to make comparisons between periods.Results: A total of 76 taxa used as food by human communities from Córdoba since LPP until present, were recorded. Only four taxa were common to all the periods.While some current activities dated from LPP (storage, boiling), other practices are contemporary. Likewise, some practices are not currently carried out.Conclusions: Without neglecting the biases and limitations of the documentation, the similarities and differences in species and activities recorded in the sources, allowed to infer continuities and changes over time in local knowledge about wild plants. Thus, it was possible to increase the complexity in the vision about the dynamism in the conceptions about what is considered “good to eat”.

Introducción y objetivos: La recolección de plantas silvestres ha integrado las prácticas alimentarias de los grupos humanos que habitaron la provincia de Córdoba desde tiempos prehispánicos. Considerando el carácter dinámico de los conocimientos botánicos locales, el objetivo de este trabajo consistió en reunir y analizar la información sobre el tema procedente de diferentes fuentes en torno a cuáles han sido los cambios y continuidades en la utilización de especies vegetales silvestres comestibles y las representaciones sociales sobre estas plantas, en el territorio cordobés, a través del tiempo.M&M: Se analizaron tanto documentos históricos como estudios arqueobotánicos, etnohistóricos y etnobotánicos correspondientes a cinco períodos desde el Período Prehispánico Tardío (PPT, 400-1550 AD) hasta la actualidad, registrando los taxones referidos como alimento, las partes utilizadas y las actividades de procesamiento involucradas, para luego realizar comparaciones entre etapas.Resultados: Se relevó un total de 76 taxones utilizados como comestibles por las comunidades del territorio cordobés, desde el PPT hasta el presente. Sólo cuatro taxones fueron comunes a todos los períodos. Mientras que algunas actividades actuales datan del PPT (almacenamiento, hervido), otras son recientes. Asimismo, otras prácticas han perdido vigencia.Conclusiones: Sin perder de vista los sesgos y limitaciones de la documentación, las similitudes y diferencias en especies y actividades registradas en las fuentes permitieron inferir continuidades y cambios a través del tiempo en los saberes locales respecto a vegetales silvestres. Así, se logró complejizar la visión acerca del dinamismo en las concepciones acerca de lo considerado “bueno para comer”.
