- Scope and Contents
- This photograph was taken by Dr. Simon Ottenberg while conducting field research at Afikpo village-group, southeastern Nigeria, from September 1959 to December 1960.
- Original title reads, "New house under construction on the road to Ndibe Beach, which ends at the Cross River. Such partially finished homes, at the time being built of cement blocks, lumber and galvanized iron roofs, rather than the more traditional mud blocks and stick/raffia roofs, were often finished over a number of years as its owner gained finances to complete it, so that seeing a number of them in an Afikpo village was not unusual." [Ottenberg field research notes, September 1959-December 1960, Part II].
