101	The Mendel University in Brno, Faculty of Forestry and Wood Technology, and its Master programme European Forestry Sís, David 21 June 2019 (has links) Mendel University in Bmo has a rich, 100 years old history. From the beginning two main faculties Agricultural Faculty and Forestry Faculty existed. During the following century, among others influenced by political developments, faculties were added or removed from the central core of agriculture and forestry. In 1995 this university adopted the name of Mendel University. Nowadays the Faculty of Forestry and Wood Technology is the center for forest, wood, furniture university education and research. There is rich cooperation with foreign faculties. At the faculty there is master study programme European Forestry, which is completely taught in English language. Important parts of the in-forest training are given at the Training Forest Enterprise Masaryk Forest Křtiny. info:eu-repo/classification/ddc/630 ddc:630
102	Paleoethnobotany of Kilgii Gwaay: a 10,700 year old Ancestral Haida Archaeological Wet Site Cohen, Jenny Micheal 03 December 2014 (has links) This thesis is a case study using paleoethnobotanical analysis of Kilgii Gwaay, a 10,700-year-old wet site in southern Haida Gwaii to explore the use of plants by ancestral Haida. The research investigated questions of early Holocene wood artifact technologies and other plant use before the large-scale arrival of western redcedar (Thuja plicata), a cultural keystone species for Haida in more recent times. The project relied on small-scale excavations and sampling from two main areas of the site: a hearth complex and an activity area at the edge of a paleopond. The archaeobotanical assemblage from these two areas yielded 23 plant taxa representing 14 families in the form of wood, charcoal, seeds, and additional plant macrofossils. A salmonberry and elderberry processing area suggests a seasonal summer occupation. Hemlock wedges and split spruce wood and roots show evidence for wood-splitting technology. The assemblage demonstrates potential for site interpretation based on archaeobotanical remains for the Northwest Coast of North America and highlights the importance of these otherwise relatively unknown plant resources from this early time period. / Graduate / cohenjenny2@gmail.com Kilgii Gwaay paleoethnobotany Haida Gwaii archaeology paleoenvironment archaeobotany plant macrofossils macrobotanical seed identification early Holocene Northwest Coast Pacific Northwest keystone species salmonberry red elderberry Sitka spruce western hemlock western redcedar paleontology Haida culture history split wood technology split spruce root tools berries Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve wet site
