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 As Christoph von Fürer-Haimendorf discovered, Apatanis live in compact villages in order to use every square metre of land for wet-rice agriculture : these paddy fields, separated by bunds, will soon be flooded and seedlings from a nursery bed transplanted in them for a harvest in October : Wet-rice agriculture is the Apatanis’ main food production system : Nearly every foot of level land is devoted to paddy cultivation, mostly the flooded plots in the centre of the valley that produce two high energy-efficient varieties : another, early ripening variety grown on dry land is more labour intensive and less popular as food : taking advantage of the slightly southward sloping landscape, Apatanis irrigate the fields by building bunds at carefully graded heights : Into these caked mud walls, they insert wood sluices, hollowed out from the heavy trunks of hardwood trees, which are cut and carried down the high slopes of the surrounding mountains : apatanis use and small hoes but no animals, machines or wells : the paddy fields stand in the centre not only of the valley but of local culture, too : Four months are named after rice varieties or stages in their cultivation : the work is constant, with a two-week break in January the Murung (Feast of Merit) Festival season, and a day here and there at other times : the cycle of tilling, mixing the soil, bund repairing, sluice fitting, nursery bed sowing, transplanting, plus weeding three or four times a summer, culminates in the harvest : Using metal sickles from Assam, the early crop is harvested in August, but the main crop is not cut until October, and by mid-November the wooden granaries are filled with husked rice : Paddy plots are owned by families, who tend them throughout the year, although some of the labour is done by groups : Many of these groups are informal, voluntary arrangements between eight to ten people, mostly women, who work in each other’s fields on a rotating basis : Increasingly, however, groups now consist of young men who work for wages during the heavy periods of agricultural season : a few individual men and women, of all ages, also do paid labour.
