Abstract of "Dolores Archaeological Program: Synthetic Report 1978-1981":The Dolores Project is a large water project currently under construction by the Bureau of Reclamation in extreme southwestern Colorado. The Dolores Archaeological Program is responsible for the Dolores Project Cultural .Resources Mitigation Program under Bureau of Reclamation Contract No. 8-07-40-S0562. At the request of the Bureau of Recla mation, the Dolores Archaeological Program has produced this report entitled Dolores Archaeological Program Synthetic Report 1978-1981. This report will provide the Bureau of Reclamation with a mechanism for evaluating Dolores Archaeological Program synthetic results for future budget and program decisions

Plantas medicinais em feiras e mercados públicos do Distrito Florestal Sustentável da BR-163, estado do Pará, Brasil Medicinal plants at fairs and public markets of the Sustainable Forest District of BR-163, Pará state, Brazil

As plantas medicinais constituem um grupo de produtos florestais não-madeireiros apontado como de grande potencial no Distrito Florestal Sustentável da BR-163. Visando compreender a cadeia produtiva de plantas medicinais oriundas do extrativismo, comercializadas em entrepostos, feiras e mercados públicos de municípios desta área, foram realizadas entrevistas semi-estruturadas com 20 vendedores de plantas medicinais. Foi estimada a riqueza de espécies a partir do estimador Bootstrap e analisada a similaridade entre os municípios estudados, através do Índice de Sørensen. Identificaram-se 46 etnoespécies de plantas medicinais, pertencentes a 42 gêneros e 21 famílias, sendo Fabaceae, Anacardiaceae e Bignoniaceae as famílias mais representativas. A riqueza esperada foi de 50 etnoespécies, sendo que coletas adicionais acrescentariam pelo menos quatro itens à lista geral de riqueza. Com relação à similaridade, Santarém, Itaituba e Altamira compartilham um maior número de espécies, sendo que Santarém mostra-se como centro diversificado de produtos medicinais, com maior número de ocorrências exclusivas (14). As feiras e mercados públicos, por serem um elo importante desse sistema de distribuição, devem ser incluídos nas ações governamentais sobre políticas públicas para a saúde.<br>Medicinal plants are non-timber forest products with great potential in the Sustainable Forest District of BR-163. In order to understand the productive chain from extractive medicinal plants marketed at emporiums, fairs and public markets of districts of this area, semi-structured interviews with 20 vendors of medicinal plants were carried out. Species richness was estimated by Bootstrap and similarity among the districts studied was analyzed by Sørensen's Index. 46 medicinal plants belonging to 42 genera and 21 botanical families were identified. Fabaceae, Anacardiaceae and Bignoniaceae were the most representative botanical families. The expected richness for the sample was 50 species and additional collecting would increase by at least four items the general list of richness. Santarém, Itaituba and Altamira share a larger number of species and the first is shown to be a diversified center of medicinal products, presenting the largest number of exclusive occurrences (14). The fairs and public markets are an important link of this distribution system, and should be included in government actions concerning public policies for health
