Palikur Amerindians live in the eastern part of French Guiana which is undergoing deep-seated changes due to the geographical and economic opening of the region. So far, Palikur's traditional ecological knowledge is poorly documented, apart from medicinal plants. The aim of this study was to document ethnobotanical practices related to traditional construction in the region.
A combination of qualitative and quantitative methods was used. Thirty-nine Palikur men were interviewed in three localities (Saint-Georges de l'Oyapock, Regina and Trois-Palétuviers) between December 2013 and July 2014. Twenty-four inventories of wood species used in traditional buildings were conducted in the villages, as well as ethnobotanical walks in the neighboring forests, to complete data about usable species and to determine Linnaean names.
After an ethnographic description of roundwood Palikur habitat, the in situ wood selection process of Palikur is precisely described. A total of 960 roundwood pieces were inventoried in situ according to Palikur taxonomy, of which 860 were beams and rafters, and 100 posts in 20 permanent and 4 temporary buildings. Twenty-seven folk species were identified. Sixty-three folk species used in construction were recorded during ethnobotanical walks. They correspond to 263 botanical species belonging to 25 families. Posts in permanent buildings were made of yawu (Minquartia guianensis) (51%) and wakap (Vouacapoua americana) (14%). Beams and rafters were made of wood from Annonaceae (79%) and Lecythidaceae (13%) families. The most frequently used species were kuukumwi priye (Oxandra asbeckii), kuukumwi seyne (Pseudoxandra cuspidata), and pukuu (Xylopia nitida and X. cayennensis).
Although the Palikur's relationship with their habitat is undergoing significant changes, knowledge about construction wood is still very much alive in the Oyapock basin. Many people continue to construct traditional buildings alongside modern houses, using a wide array of species described here for the first time, along with the techniques used.
帕利库尔印第安人居住在法属圭亚那东部，该地区正在经历深刻的变化，包括地理位置和经济的开放。到目前为止，除了药用植物外，帕利库尔人的传统生态知识记录甚少。本研究的目的是记录该地区与传统建筑相关的民族植物学实践。
采用定性和定量相结合的方法。2013 年 12 月至 2014 年 7 月，在圣乔治-德洛亚波克、雷吉娜和特罗皮维耶尔斯三个地方采访了 39 名帕利库尔男性。在村庄中进行了 24 项传统建筑用木材种类的清单编制，并在附近森林中进行了民族植物学考察，以补充可用物种的数据，并确定林奈名称。
在对圆木帕利库尔栖息地进行了民族志描述后，详细描述了帕利库尔的就地木材选择过程。根据帕利库尔分类法，共在原地清点了 960 件圆木，其中 860 件是梁和椽，20 座永久性建筑和 4 座临时建筑中有 100 根柱子。确定了 27 种民间物种。在民族植物学考察中记录了 63 种用于建筑的民间物种，它们对应于 25 个科的 263 种植物物种。永久性建筑的柱子由 yawu（Minquartia guianensis）（51%）和 wakap（Vouacapoua americana）（14%）制成。梁和椽由 Annonaceae（79%）和 Lecythidaceae（13%）家族的木材制成。使用最频繁的物种是 kuukumwi priye（Oxandra asbeckii）、kuukumwi seyne（Pseudoxandra cuspidata）和 pukuu（Xylopia nitida 和 X. cayennensis）。
尽管帕利库尔人与他们的栖息地的关系正在发生重大变化，但在奥亚波克流域，他们对建筑木材的知识仍然非常活跃。许多人仍然在现代房屋旁边建造传统建筑，使用这里首次描述的许多物种，以及所使用的技术。
