| description |
Backgrounds and aims: Palms (Arecaceae) are one of the most conspicuous elements of Northeast Argentina (NEA), occupying a central place in the landscapes and worldviews (M´bya, family farmers). The objective of this work is to survey the diversity of palms, uses, valuations and management practices of palms and palm groves recorded in documentary sources. Also, analyze the processes of change and continuity, in order to understand the construction of the landscape of palm groves in the region.
M&M: From historical ethnobotany, three types of documentary sources were analyzed: diaries and manuscripts of the Jesuits (18th century), early traveler's diaries (first half of the 19th century) late traveler and naturalist diaries (late 19th century and early 20th century), who traveled through the NEA and surrounding areas.
Results: Thirty-one local names of Arecaceae were registered corresponding to seven species and 37 categories of use (i.e. food, constructions) were surveyed. Some of the typical uses of the Guarani are relegated to the Jesuit bibliography, while those related to livestock are mentioned by travelers and naturalists. The valuation of palm trees is always positive among the different groups studied and that management practices (i.e. harvesting, harvesting by felling and tolerance) are linked to the main registered uses.
Conclusions: The importance of palms for the local communities can be observed through the documentary sources, as well as some processes of change and continuity in the mentioned species, uses and practices according to the three types of sources. |

Introducción y objetivos: Las palmeras (Arecaceae) son uno de los elementos más conspicuos del Noreste de la Argentina (NEA) ocupando un lugar central en los paisajes y cosmovisiones locales (M´bya, agricultores familiares). El objetivo de este trabajo es registrar la diversidad, usos, valoraciones y prácticas de manejo de las palmeras y palmares registradas en las fuentes documentales. También analizar los procesos de cambio y continuidad, a fin de comprender la construcción del paisaje de palmares de la región. M&M: Desde la etnobotánica histórica se analizaron tres tipos de fuentes documentales: diarios y manuscritos de los Jesuitas (s. XVIII), diarios de viajeros tempranos (primera mitad del s. XIX) y diarios de viajeros y naturalistas tardíos (fines del s. XIX y principios del XX), que recorrieron el NEA y zonas aledañas. Resultados: Se registraron 31 nombres locales de Arecaceae que corresponden a siete especies y 37 categorías de uso (i.e. alimentarios, construcciones). Algunos de los usos típicos de los guaraníes quedan relegados a la bibliografía jesuítica, mientras que aquellos relacionados con el ganado son mencionados por viajeros y naturalistas. La valoración de las palmeras es siempre positiva entre los diferentes grupos estudiados y las prácticas de manejo (i.e. recolección, recolección mediante tala y tolerancia) están vinculadas con los principales usos registrados. Conclusiones: Se puede observar a través de las fuentes documentales la importancia de las palmeras para las comunidades locales así como algunos procesos de cambio y continuidad en las especies mencionadas, usos y prácticas según los tres tipos de fuentes.
