Participant-observation is the most common method used by anthropologists to collect data. This involves immersing oneself in the culture being studied and observing and participating in daily activities. Other methods, such as accounts of early explorers or government censuses, may provide useful data but are often limited in their scope and accuracy. Controlled studies may also be used but are less common in anthropology than in other social sciences.
