Where could I find it? I presume you are referring to Murdock's Ethnographic Atlas. It was first published in the pages of Current Anthropology I think, but that was a long time ago. It was reprinted in the 1960's in a more complete form. The HRAF would be more up-to-date, but not nearly as thorough. You should be able to get the Ethnographic Atlas at a University Library. E-mail me if you need particular info, because I know our Library has it. My understanding is that a prominent anthropologist at SMU is currently working on the definitive ethnographic database for release sometime soon.
