- 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 caption reads, "Afikpo country scenes." [Ottenberg field research notes, September 1959-December 1960, Part II].
- "The twenty-two villages which are collectively known as Afikpo Village-Group lie in the eastermost portion of Igbo territory, on the west bank of the Cross River. It is a hilly region, with sandstone ridges which run in various directions. The altitude is not high, being about five hundred feet above sea level. It is a transitional area between open grassland and tropical rain forest." [Ottenberg S., 1968: Double Descent in an African Society; the Afikpo Village-Group. University of Washington Press].
