Site frozen. Go to Anthrograph for the latest [July 4, 2025]

I am pleased to announce that I am debuting a new site for teaching resources at https://anthrograph.rschram.org. Please visit and browse.

The Anthrocyclopaedia will remain for now as an archive but will no longer be updated. I will be manually moving materials from this site to Anthrograph from today, editing and updating as I go. Thanks for your visits over the many years---over 10!---that this site has been active. I look forward to welcoming you to a new teaching site.

    Caption:
    The interior of a village store in Tambunum village, PNG, ca. 1988. Although made from local building materials and in some ways modeled on residences, storekeepers also try to create a milieu for shopping: a counter for orders and goods displayed on shelves, much as in town. A customer has to enter and hand over money to the owner before receiving goods, although many ask to buy on credit (dinau). Eric Silverman, 2014.
