ABSTRACT

Ethnographic enquiry—the responsibility of Green and Green—had the goal of collecting a comprehensive set of oral-historical texts and information about possible sites, as well as seeking to understand local power and practices that would need to be accounted for in any archaeological work. An ethnographic understanding of local lifeways proved vital, particularly with regard to the articulation of landscape, historiography and myth, sociality and approaches to power and the production and appropriation of local identities.
