Abstract

The survey on lac-based Indigenous Technical Knowledge (ITK) amongst the farming communities of Assam revealed its prevalence mainly amongst the tribal people of West Karbi Anglong, East Karbi Anglong, Golaghat, Jorhat, Tinsukia, Goalpara, and Dhemaji districts of Assam. Altogether six numbers of lac-based ITKs were reported about lac culture, human medicine, dye making and post-harvest operations. Lac-based ITKs have not been documented scientifically so far. This paper describes some of the ITKs practiced by tribals/farmers of Assam for the first time, which might help other researchers/scientists in further studies for scientific validation of lac-based ITKs.

阿萨姆邦以漆为基础的本土技术知识

对阿萨姆邦农业社区中以漆为基础的土著技术知识（ITK）的调查显示，这种知识主要在阿萨姆邦西卡比安格隆、东卡比安格隆、戈拉哈特、乔哈特、廷苏基亚、戈尔帕拉和德马吉地区的部落居民中普遍存在。共报告了六种以漆树为基础的 ITK，涉及漆树栽培、人类医药、染料制作和收获后操作。迄今为止，尚未对以漆树为基础的 ITK 进行科学记录。本文首次介绍了阿萨姆邦部落/农民使用的一些传统工艺，这可能有助于其他研究人员/科学家进一步开展研究，对以漆树为基础的传统工艺进行科学验证。

期刊介绍： Traditional knowledge" is employed to mean knowledge, innovations and practices of indigenous and local communities embodying traditional life-styles; the wisdom developed over many generations of holistic traditional scientific utilization of the lands, natural resources, and environment. It is generally passed down by word of mouth, from generation to generation and is, for the most part, undocumented. Traditional knowledge is valid and necessary, and awaits its currently relevant wider application for human benefit. National Institute of Science Communication and Information Resources, CSIR felt a need to document the recent developments and the information bygone in this area in the form of an interdisciplinary periodical. The Indian Journal of Traditional Knowledge will carry original research papers, review articles, short communications, etc. concerned with the observation and experimental investigation of the biological activities of the materials from plants, animals and minerals, used in the traditional health-care systems such as Ayurveda, Siddha, Yoga, Unani, Naturopathy, Homoeopathy, Folk-remedies, etc. As validation of indigenous claims it will cover Ethno-biology, Ethno-medicine, Ethno-pharmacology, Ethno-pharmacognosy & Clinical Studies on efficacy .
