<abstract xmlns="http://eprints.org/ep2/data/2.0">Research was conducted in July 2013 as part of an&#13;
ethnobotany research-training course in Georgia&#13;
(საქართველო). After obtaining prior informed consent for&#13;
interviews and photographs, semi-structured interviews&#13;
were conducted with participants in local villages.&#13;
Images were taken of the physical environment (soils, water&#13;
features, and other geographical context elements), biological&#13;
environment (parts of plants used, whole plants,&#13;
animals, ecosystems, landscapes), and cultural environment&#13;
(artifacts, villages, crop fields, and other anthropogenic&#13;
landscapes, individuals and groups interacting with&#13;
each other or the researchers, and people conducting daily&#13;
tasks of life). Most of the photographs were taken opportunistically&#13;
and only Figures 79-81 were “staged.”&#13;
