Marie Czaplicka, Polish by birth and British by choice, was the first Western anthropologist to carry on extensive fieldwork in Siberia among the Tungus of the Enisej river between 1914 and 1915. Her 13 months spent in the field provided her with the material for her diary, published in 1916 under the title of My Siberian Year. My paper takes into account Marie Czaplicka’s field-diary with a specific insight on shamanism as it was witnessed by the author a few years before the rise of the Soviet Union; it also aims at analyzing the issue of fieldnotes as a means of theoretical elaboration produced by fieldwork.

Abstract
Marie Czaplicka, Polish by birth and British by choice, was the first Western anthropologist to carry on extensive fieldwork in Siberia among the Tungus of the Enisej river between 1914 and 1915. Her 13 months spent in the field provided her with the material for her diary, published in 1916 under the title of My Siberian Year. My paper takes into account Marie Czaplicka’s field-diary with a specific insight on shamanism as it was witnessed by the author a few years before the rise of the Soviet Union; it also aims at analyzing the issue of fieldnotes as a means of theoretical elaboration produced by fieldwork.
