- Scope and Contents
- This photograph was taken by Dr. Simon Ottenberg while conducting field research at Afikpo village-group, southeastern Nigeria, from December 1951 to March 1953.
- Original title reads, "Bush behind Obiogo Maka, Agbogo ward, Mgbom Village." [Ottenberg field research notes, O Series,December 1951-March 1953].
- "Immediately beyond the houses in the compounds, frequently on a downward slope, is the osoho area, farmed by persons whose houses are nearby, and where garbage dumps and latrines are often located. Beyond osoho, but rarely exceeding a mile in width, is the ebo area, consisting of trees, gardens, small farms, and in some case open grasslands. The ebo areas are outside of the regular system of farmland rotation and often are used every year." [Ottenberg S., 1971: Leadership and Authority in an African Society; the Afikpo Village-Group. University of Washington Press].
