..... go from field to field, mapping and naming. I saw the detailed maps. Another four months work.
Disputes [ because of the finality]
lots of disputes
E.g. (1) while I was there

Fatma's clan

Woman did not get a share. Was told it was all settled. They announced it three times, and she did not come.
Still they will look into it.
She accused them of neglect, and using bad informants.

E.g. (ii) i(0270 Bilal) bought land 17/18 years ago for 3,000 TL and animals. Senit almadi. i(0273 Seyit) wants the land back for 3,000 TL. Tapu memuru gave to i(5279 Nazife) and others. She is worried. i(0273 Seyit) says he is going to court. i(5279 Nazife) very querulous.

NB: All informants male; and the main issue is usually land for daughters.

Memurs live in the village. Technical training. Camping in Kšy Odasi, eat each night with a village household.
Very pleasant young men and seem to get on well.
Kanber has been completed.
They said not enough money to pay people to finish the job quickly.
