- 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, "Abakaliki main market. Well organized into stalls with galvanized iron roofs and different sections allocated to different products, with stalls rented out by the local Abakaliki Town government. Main market with northeast section of town and Juju hill in background. This is the hill that attracted the British to this area in the first decade of the Twwentieth century, as a good place to settle because of the view, although the government offices and homes were not built on it, probably because of water supply problems." [Ottenberg field research notes, September 1959-December 1960, Part II].
