500 |a Christoph von Fürer-Haimendorf (1909-1995) was born and educated in Vienna, gaining a PhD in anthropology from the University of Vienna in 1931. A grant from the Rockefeller Foundation enabled him to study at the London School of Economics, under the anthropologist Bronislaw Malinowski. In 1936, he went to the Naga Hills in northeast India for his first fieldwork; over the next four decades, he worked extensively in south & central India, northeast India and Nepal. In 1950 he was appointed Professor of Anthropology at SOAS, where he established the Department of Anthropology. During his career, he published seventeen books, most of them ethnographies of tribal cultures. He was President of the Royal Anthropological Institute (1975-77) and a pioneer in the field of visual anthropology.

520 3 |a Flat surface in the foreground is a raised ritual platform, several of which, owned by different clans, are found in every Apatani village : a man is standing on another platform in the background : as this photograph shows, Apatanis live in compact villages, narrow houses approx : 12 metres by 4 metres, and nuclear families in order to use every square metre of land for wet-rice agriculture : Porches, front and back, extend the living and working area and provide a public viewing gallery, as well : the thatched roof seen here was sometimes laid on top of split and flattened bamboo more fire-resistant and water-tight, : thatch became less popular by the 1970s, and since the 1990s corrugated iron sheeting has been preferred : another change is that today houses are only about 1 metre above ground, while earlier they were raised up higher : Wooden or concrete steps have been substituted for the notched wooden board leading to the front porch : In other essentials, however, Apatani houses today look like those seen in this photograph.
