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. () /
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. () /
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.

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. () /
326935	Pitpit (not the fencing variety, but the variety used to weave walls) and a rainbow over Yikaic Mtn. A view from outside Tultul's garden, up the headwaters of the Yayagac River. () /
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. () /
