Description:: A photo scale has been placed next to a partial elephant ivory tusk, which rests insitu against an anvil stone (GS 09-32) in an area (mound 6) that archaeologists interpret as a metallurgical workshop. Several smaller stones surround the cluster. This group of objects was found adjacent to and at approximately the same depth as a series of other artifact clusters (A-D) that archaeologists interpret as a large shrine feature which capped stratified deposits associated with metalworking activities. The tusk was friable and poorly preserved, but had visible Schreger Lines diagnostic of elephant ivory. Photo scale marked in 5 cm increments. North is top of photo. Site Ngre Kataa. 10 June 2009.

Description:: Devin Tepleski, University of Victoria undergraduate student in visual anthropology, plays back film footage on a video camera to children from Bui Village. The children carry headpans as they make their way to the river to fetch water. Acting on a request by Bui people, Tepleski visited Bui as part of the Banda Research Project to video-document the village and its people prior to their mandatory relocation due to the Bui Hydroelectric Dam project. His short film "Mango Driftwood" was posted on YouTube on 20 November, 2010 at the link below. Bui Village, May, 2009.
