FIELD NOTES

Scope and Content of Series

SERIES 2) FIELD NOTES: Hays' notes span three grant-funded field studies in Papua New Guinea. The first study spanned fifteen months, beginning in July 1971, and focused on the variation of plant and animal knowledge of individuals in a Tairora-speaking community (Ndumba) in the Kainantu District of Eastern Highlands Province. The second study spanned two months in 1981 and focused on ethnobiology, gender relations, and oral literature in the same Eastern Highlands community. Hays' third study took place over a month in 1985 and served to further the research he began in 1981. The field notes comprise thirty-two handwritten notebooks from his first field study in 1971-1972, followed by loose-leaf handwritten notes from all three expeditions which are arranged by subject. Hays' typed field notes, which aggregate the contents of the field notebooks and notes from the three field studies with the rest of his research, are filed by subjects he assigned himself.
