Yes. There have been many follow up interviews with these researchers. It's an early "is this interesting" proof-of-concept study. But, they are getting funding for a study which should generate more reliable data.
Do you have a source with more detail on the actual technique? They are a bit sparse on details.

It sounds like combining the spatial map with narrative stories, right?

If you want to learn more about indigenous memory techniques read: "Memory Craft" by Dr. Lynne Kelly and "Sand Talk" by one of the authors of the experiment in question.
Thanks for the tip!

Dr. Lynne Kelly also has a related book "The Memory Code".

Reading that currently.
