Back from Kokoda

Posted in: Offline and Out

For the last two weeks or so I have been in Kokoda, Papua New Guinea, for field work with a group of archaeologists and environmental historians.

It was good being offline, without electricity, and with almost no phone contact with the outside world. I could concentrate on writing field notes, and enjoyed the nightly conversations with other members of the expedition.

So, now I have lots of follow-up work to do, but I will try to give some attention to the cooperative again as well.One thought I had was to write a piece on keeping field notes.

There are some special techniques that can be used to make field notes easier to use, and more useful. Any ideas about this from members of the Cooperative would be welcome.
