<p style="line-height:15.0pt"><span style="font-size:9.0pt; font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:#666666">At a time when the frontiers separating the traditional scientific and scholarly disciplines are being obliterated the occasion is apt for a reconsideration
of the relationships between social anthropology and its sister disciplines such as political science, sociology, literary studies, and the like. In my talk today I discuss the overlap between social anthropology and history and make the case for revisiting
the well-known contributions to this topic made by E. E. Evans-Pritchard, who himself began his academic career as a historian, and Claude Lévi-Strauss, whose advocacy of a structural approach to the human domain might be thought to imply a anti-historical
regard for understanding social institutions. In demonstrating how diachronic and synchronic perspectives may be combined in their respective ways in helping to render institutions intelligible this talk examines some of the lessons learned from several periods
of fieldwork in Timor-Leste beginning in 1966 by examining how archival documents and published materials may be conjoined with ethnographic research. The talk firstly describes the background to the first period in the field; then considers the extent to
which archival and secondary sources were used during that first period of field research; and finally consider how the use of archival and secondary sources during the later periods of field research compared with the initial period.</span></p>
