APPENDIX Range of Marriage: Distance Whenever possible I gathered information about the origins of the partners to marriages. In the tables attached, I give a summary of the results. The figures for living wives in Sakaltutan are virtually complete and reliable but those for women married out of the village are less so, and in some cases I am not sure whether women who have left the village are still alive. The Elbashi figures are based on a more or less complete census of village households, but my data on origins of wives is less complete and on women who have left the village even more partial. It is obvious that figures for past and broken marriages could only be said to be complete in any sense if one set a time limit, which I did not. These tables should be read in conjunction with the map, fig. 2 (p. 17), with the diagrams, figs. 10 and 11 (pp. 205 and 207) and with the discussion on pp. 201, 205-7. |
