- 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, "Women crushing palm kernels in holes in rocks at Mgbom Village crushing ground, south of the village, along the road to Unwana Village-Group, further south. Second and third wife of the carver Chukwu Okoro from Mgbom Village, and Idumoke's daughter." [Ottenberg field research notes, September 1959-December 1960, Part I].
- "The village, or sometimes several village wards together, possesses a palm-kernel crushing area of sandstone into which deep holes have been ground by the work of freeing the oil from the kernels. It is often located in ebo or osoho land." [Ottenberg S., 1971: Leadership and Authority in an African Society; the Afikpo Village-Group. University of Washington Press].
