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