Description:: A filled-in pit feature is visible in plan view at the base of level 4 in unit 6W 6S, Station 9, Makala Kataa. The pit is marked by dark soil against a light soil matrix. A portion of the pit has been excavated to a deeper level in the adjacent 2 x 2 m unit (4W 6S). Soil in the intrusive pit contained many artifacts, including some European manufactured imports. Wooden grid pegs mark the edges of excavation units, and a photo board and scale are set up along the edge of one 2-meter unit. Makala Kataa, 1990.

Description:: The standing wall stubs of a small structure are surrounded by trees at Makala Kataa. Its walls were built using an atakpame technique. The grass cover has been cleared by archaeologists in preparation for site mapping. Far right, Banda Research Project team members work on nearby Station 10 excavation units. According to oral histories, people moved from this area of Makala Kataa to establish a new village in a place immediately east of the old settlement. This move happened at a time when British colonial officials were implementing "village planning" schemes in the early decades of the 20th century. Makala Kataa, 1990.

Description:: A narrow excavation trench cuts across several low mounds ("Mound 1") at Makala Station 10. The standing stub of a deteriorating wall is associated with one low mound. Trees dot the site in the foreground. In the background, behind the trench, are piles of dirt formed by the sieving of excavated dirt in order to recover artifacts. According to oral histories, people moved from this area of Makala Kataa early in the 20th century when British colonial officials implemented a "village planning" scheme. People built new houses east of the old settlement and in time the old houses collapsed and formed low mounds. Makala Kataa, 1990.
