OK, I don't have any links to post yet, but I'd like to point out that this is good practice for the frustrations of fieldwork.
Pile sorting: through the use of a simple matrix, a team was able to determine cause/effect relationships of health issues of the women they were studying. Could be helpful when we need to identify patterns quickly.
A [systematic] walkabout sounds waay cool and really useful...the study team spends several hours (depending on areas to be covered) "walking across the study sites in a meandering fashion". This method is about absorbing details of the site's atmosphere, as we walk up and down roads and footpaths, stopping to talk with folks from all walks of life. (the site lists water sources, village/town square, and market places as potential stops) The purpose, tools, procedures are listed on the link as a health walk about, but could obviously be structured to meet our data recovery needs once we're there.
