Participant observation is the primary method in the anthropologist's toolkit as it allows the researcher to immerse themselves in the culture they are studying, observe behavior in its natural setting, and gain a deep understanding of the cultural context. Mapping, random sampling, formal interviews, and mentoring may all be useful techniques in certain circumstances, but none are as central to anthropology as participant observation.
