I am conducting ethnoarchaeological research with two iron-smelting communities in India. They are used to lead a “nomadic” life moving along the sources of ore and charcoal. But their movements were not erratic. These took place in a circle, guided primarily by their forest management strategies. They revisited their camps after a more or less fixed interval, and hence there was a certainty in their movements. You can read more on this here: http://ethnoarchaeologyresearch.com/
I am more nomadic in that sense, because although I occasionally visit my parents, much I do not really know where my next professional appointment will be.
