Abstract

In this paper we seek to shed light on some technical and functional aspects of sugarcane wooden mills (almanjarra type) in the countryside of eastern Brazil. To this end, we present primary data about the wooden mills and furnaces of two sugarcane mills complexes in Ibiassucê, Bahia. Complementary information about the production of rapadura and the construction of the mills were gathered through interviews with the sugarcane mill owner and a local artisan.
