Northern Khanty Clothing and Footwear (Lower Ob' Region, Northwest Siberia)

This ethnographic dataset provides a trait-based survey of variability in traditional clothing and footwear among seven Northern Khanty communities living in the Lower Ob' region of Northwestern Siberia. The data were originally gathered by A.M. Siazi and published in Russian (2000). The information was then translated and converted into the current binary dataset which records the presence/absence of cultural traits across the communities. This dataset was analysed and published as Jordan (2009), along with contextual ethnographic information on dialects, lifeways, kinship patterns and community settlement and mobility patterns.
