Part of Nancy Howell fonds
This sub-series contains extensive original raw data collected on the !Kung San in the Dobe area of Botswana between 1967-1969 by Nancy Howell. Most importantly this series contains two sets of original data sets: 1)Howell’s original interview notes and photographs (taken by anthropologist Richard Lee) for all 846 participants (/001 and /002); 2)the completed questionnaires for all the women in the study that focused on marriages, childbearing, deaths of children and husbands (005). There are also other data collected relating to the !Kung kinship network and genealogies as well as tabulations of data done as late as 2000. This data formed the basis of Howell’s 1979 book The Demography of the Dobe !Kung which was republished in 2000. It also served as a resource for future research and collaboration centered on these hunter gatherers.
