No fieldwork without theory

Fieldwork provides the ethnographer with ordinary or special objects which become "evidence" of a people and its customs. Collecting such objects is inseparable from the interpretation of these signs of life. Seeing Roman Antiquity in the form of objects brought back from Romania, Eugène Pittard inscribed the population itself in the long time frame of unchanging traditions.
