To this end, expedition photographs are being scanned and entered into the computer using NVivo, a commercial qualitative data analysis software. As photographs are being entered they are being categorized using two frameworks: the food system observation guide originally proposed by LaBianca (1990) and the “seven little traditions” framework proposed more recently by LaBianca & Witzel (2007). The findings resulting from this experiment in categorization will serve as the basis for coming up with an improved categorization scheme. Seven Little Traditions 1. Local Level Water Management 2. Mixed Agro-pastoralism 3. Fluid Shared Commons 4. Residential Flexibility 5. Hospitality 6. Honor and Shame 7. Tribalism Classifying Ethnographic Photographs from Tall H...
