326924 MJ filming, with MG looking on and Gwadamaiwe, Koumaineu, Yambagwe, and Yuemeye in the bckgrd. May be in Kamuac by one of the sink holes; Correct. English (eng)
326925 Kamuac pulpul and taro gardens. Though the fences are of pitpit, they are strong enough to resist pigs. This was the style of fences in the past, when only stone adzes were used, since pitpit can be broken by hand. This pitpit does not necessarily come from close hy, but, like fencing lumber, may be carried by the women from quite a distant source. This is a new garden, probably planted a month previous - as seen by the state of the pulpul reeds which have not yet begun to spread. Women plant the taro and pulpul; men make the fence and care for the irrigation. The mountain in the background is the cliff, Paranyieu, which is near the men's house. The location of the men's house is behind the tanget on the left. English (eng)
326926 Same garden from another angle - both kinds of fence are visible. The itata, plot markers, are here also used to help guide the water. Gwataie is walking along between the plots. English (eng)
326927 Weyagoulianac holding a lump of Ytcheaka clay in breadfruit leaves. She may take the clay home and put it over the fire, where the heat will turn it red. The red powder is then used for body decoration during initiation ceremonies, etc. The breadfruit leaves are steamed in earth ovens with pork and eaten by the Baruya - it is a different variety of breadfruit than the one in the Western Highlands where the fruit is eaten. English (eng)
326928 Gwataie, Yambagwe and MJ in the same garden. Outside the fence are the rest of the team. In the background is Gwalama Mtn (the one with two tops) on the other side of the Yaiyagac River. Taro gardens are lower down. This pulpul garden is on excellent ground. You can 1ake a harvest and the roots will regrow another harvest in two more months, and you can make a third harvest. This can go on for 2 ½ years. Then you take out the old roots, turn the ground, and right away plant a new crop. The taro, will take about a year to mature - after that it can stay in the ground for 2 years -and can be used at the initiation ceremonies - it doesn't rot. In a dry garden, the taro can only be left for about a year - many insects can come and eat them if they are left for more time.

326929 MJ leads the team coming up a steep path through kunai grass next to very large ditch dug by all Wiaveu men as a deterent for pigs to come too close to village. (But then the pigs weren't growing up strongly and so they let this fall into disuse.)
To the left of the large tree is a large sweet potato garden on Wiaveu people. On the right of the tree - in fact on the other side of the Yayagac River, is the new fence of a new pulpul-taro garden belonging to Yani people. It is irrigated from water taken from the Yayagac in small ditches. The Anagiri ridge and Kwankeucheureu are visible in background, the all the primary Forest of the Ipmani.		 English (eng)

The grove of trees in the foreground was the site of a garden -Dedayuwe's ground. Then people got tired of gardening there and the trees are just left. On the right, outside the frame, is a cemetery area. In the middle, on the left ground. Then people got tired of gardening there and the trees are just left. 		English (eng)
326934 View of Wiaveu from Paranieu. Koumaineu commented that this ground is a very good place for a village, because even in very rainy weather the ground stays dry.
 English (eng)

326944 CU plates on table.
The saucepan is still in Wiaveu - Ourou is taking care of it. The fine wooden table, benches, and floor all came from Wonenara where a carpenter from Goroka came in and used the saw mill (seen in AB 159). Actually, the planks for the table werealso brought in from Goroka, but the floor wood was cut locally - 5 - 6 kinds of trees.		 English (eng)
