Managing fieldwork data

The fieldwork activities are finished in September, and this month was essentially dedicated to the management of fieldwork data. The locations of upland structures, recorded using an handheld GPS, have been elaborated and included into a GIS platform. Photographs and information about these sites have been sorted. The transcription of ethnographic interviews and historical documents has started too. The next step will be the management of data collected during the topographic survey of dry-stone huts in the Val Maudagna.
