Zimmer's field based

What is a field based project in anthropology like? Check out Laura Zimmer Tamakoshi’s web site http://www.truman.edu/academics/ss/faculty/tamakoshil
Go to each of the three sections and create an outline from the materials that you review listing at least five facts from each of the five subtopics presented.
A field-based project in anthropology, from what I learned form Laura Zimmer’s wed site, is a lot of work. Although I thought that it would be all fun and no work I found out that I could not have been more wrong.
Laura broke done a field based into three parts, planing, method, and writing. In each of these Laura further broke the processes into subtopic. The planning sage of a field based is probably the most important step in a trip. The first subtopic is finding out the background of the culture that you wish to conduct the study on. This is very important part of planning. It’s so when you get to your destination you will not arrive “blind” to what is or has gone on in the culture prior to your arrival. The next step is the proposal stage. This is where you as a research will try to gain funding for the research for one or more agencies. Once that this is complete you must apply for the proper permits to be in the country as a researcher.
The next subtopic is the preparation of the trip. This is where you will do thing such as learn the native language to help you communicate with the culture you are studying. Next you will have to obtain the proper leave from you job and also let family members know the details. The final step of preparation is that packing for the field. This is a very important step because you don’t want to be left in a remote area with out the proper supplies.
