Ethnographic Research (Investigation Type)
This is research that focuses on the systematic description and analysis of cultural systems or lifeways. These studies of contemporary people and cultures rely heavily on participant observation as well as interviews, oral histories, and review of relevant documents. Ethnoarchaeological studies are a subset of this kind of research that investigate correlations between traditional contemporary cultures and patterns in the archaeological record.

The Analysis of a Late Holocene Bison Skull from Fawn Creek, Lemhi County, Idaho, and Its Implications for Understanding the HIstory and Ecology of Bison in the Intermountain West (1997)
In 1995 the skull of a subadult male bison was recovered from the cutbank of Fawn Creek, Lemhi County, Idaho, by a ranger for the Salmon-Challis National Forest. After slowly drying the skull for about a year it was turned over to the Midwest Archeological Center in order to be stabilized and analyzed for clues to the ecology of Late Holocene bison in the Intermountain West. A number of analytical techniques were applied to the skull in order to understand its age of deposition and ecology....
The Analysis of a Late Holocene Bison Skull from the Ashley National Forest, Utah (2004)
