	Mervyn Meggitt - Wikipedia
		Mervyn Meggitt (died 13 November 2003 New York State) was an American anthropologist who was one of the pioneering researchers of higlands Papua New Guinea and Aboriginal Australia.
		Meggitt was one of the first students of anthropology at the University of Sydney, and between 1953 and 1979 he carried out research amongst the Walbiri of Australia and the people of Enga Province, Papua New Guinea.
		Restudies of his material as well the Enga suggest that Meggitt overstated the case and the Enga may be moer like other highlands groups than than was thought in previous decades.

		Meggitt was a meticulous researcher whose keen interest in Warlpiri ceremonial life lead him to record in detail the complex interlinkages of Warlpiri kinship and cosmology, the inalienable relationships of groups of persons with specific tracts of country through Jukurrpa, the law.
		Jungarrayi told Meggitt the most striking thing about the house was the flywire that screened it; in his depiction the flywire comes to stand for the house itself.
		Meggitt's own observation of the significance of these drawings is of interest.

	Oceania: Cults and Christianity among the Enga and Ipili (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		In particular, Mervyn Meggitt (1973) and Philip Gibbs (1977) provide useful points of comparison with my own analysis as our respective research was located in the same area, yet spans 40 years, beginning in 1957 (Meggitt), again in 1974 (Gibbs), and also in 1999-2000 (myself).
		The western Enga, also called the Taro Enga (Meggitt 1973) or the Tayato Enga (Wiessner and Tumu 1998), are one subset of the approximately 200,000 Enga people living in Papua New Guinea (see Figure 1).
		For this article, I am calling the Enga who live to the west and north of the town of Laiagam the western Enga, although they have a number of self-referential names which depend upon one's relative positioning in the social and physical landscape.

	Gods Must Be Crazy and "Stuff"
		Since warfare as practiced by bands and villages does not guarantee mutual destruction, groups can rationally accept the risk of battlefield fatalities in return for the chance of improving their living conditions by forcibly lowering their neighbor's population density.
		In his study of warfare among the Mae Enga of the western highlands of Papua New Guinea, Mervyn Meggitt estimates that aggressor groups succeeded in gaining significant amounts of enemy land in 75 percent of their wars.
		On the basis of their study of a carefully drawn representative sample of 186 societies, anthropologists Carol and Melvin Ember found that preindustrial peoples mostly go to war to moderate or cushion the impact of unpredictable (rather than chronic) food shortages and that the victorious side almost always takes some resources from the losers.

		"This is the most important publication in Aboriginal anthropology since Mervyn Meggitt's Desert People appeared in 1962.
		Like Meggitt's book it is a major ethnography but the approach is quite different.
		In place of structural-functionalism we have the first complete cultural analysis of Aboriginal society.

		This paper analyzes the use of the theory of functionalism in two 1940 and 1977 ethnographies of tribal peoples : "The Nuer" by E.E. Evans-Pritchardand "Blood Is Their Argument" by Mervyn Meggitt.
		"This study will analyze the use of the theory of functionalism in two ethnographies, The Nuer, by E.E. Evans-Pritchard, and Blood Is Their Argument, by Mervyn Meggitt.
		The study will compare the two works in terms of the authors' use of the theory of functionalism, explicit and implicit, and how they applied the theory to the people and societies they were studying.
