The technique advocated develops the idea of Bayesian Narratives deriving evidence for singular causal connections from ethnographically elicited, indicative, counter factual and counter potential statements. Bayesian Narratives assemble multiple causal inferences into a directed a-cyclic di-graph. Comparative Narratives allow that similar digraphs may be compared.CausationEthnohistoryCausation.Ethnohistory.122Abell Peter106711Engel OferNjHacINjHaclBOOK9910682542003321Ethnographic Causality3276486UNINA
