A Life Among Watermen (Part 1)

Following Those Who Follow the Water

Jack Greer

Chemistry. Biology. Physics and fluid dynamics. We need all these scientific disciplines and more to understand the complexities of the Chesapeake Bay and its estuarine ecosystem. For those who want to understand the Bay not only as a system but as a place, we will need other disciplines as well - including the branch of human studies we call anthropology. In this issue we take a look at what anthropologists can tell us about the watermen communities that for generations have depended on the Bay for a livelihood. Chesapeake Quarterly, Maryland Sea Grant's quarterly magazine, reports on research, extension, education and other Chesapeake Bay issues and activities of interest to the marine community. It is produced and funded by this program, which receives support from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

Anthropology Close to Home

Anthropologists carry out their investigations in the field of human endeavor, in this case working with watermen on their boats, speaking with them, conducting intensive interviews. Like researchers in other disciplines, Michael Paolisso and his colleagues have developed a tool kit of analytical methods and techniques to evaluate the data they collect. For the most part, those data are derived from recorded language and the ideas that language represents.
