Abstract(s)
This poste r presents and discusses the local basketry knowledge and weaving skills of both
men and women from 25 rural villages of Braganca, a region in the northeast of Portugal.
The information was collected through 60 semi-structured interviews and partkipant
observation. Pictures were taken to document the entire weaving process; a collection of
artefacts was also established. Data on 30 plants used in the manufacture of baskets or
other items were recorded and analysed quantitatively in order to establish the importance
of each corresponding species. The collected data shows a high number of species, local
traditional practices and different uses related with basketry. Special attention is given to
cultural and gender values associated with basketry in that particular region and to the
processes of both knowledge 1055 and transmission
