AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This is review of Harold C. Conklin's 'Ethnographic Atlas of Ifugao,' which for production reasons could not be included in this collection. The Atlas consists of text, photographs, and map-plates, based on 1,000 aerial photographs and on-the-ground verification. The Ifugao households cultivate rice in irrigated terraces and grow sweet potatoes in swiddens. They also carefully manage woodlots. The proportion of total land area used by each activity is 17 percent for rice, 15 percent for swiddens, and 25 percent for woodlots. Conklin argues that terreacing was a response to population pressure because it minimized land requirements.
