Data
The matrix below informs about the organization of, and access to the numerical data and the anthropological sources behind them.
The three horizontal lines 1 to 3 distinguish between three different kinds of data:
- Ethnological documents organized by countries
- Ethnological documents organized by local cultural units
- All the numerical variables offered for download (Excel files)
The two vertical columns A and B distinguish between data of local cultural units (local level) and Countries (national level).
The documents are taken from the Atlas of Pre-Colonial Societies (Reimer 1999 - in German) with CD-Rom and printed maps of 80 x 40 cm in size (English naming).
