A man wearing white shorts and a belt standing by a tree trunk from which a canoe is being carved. He is looking towards the right of the image, where the anthropologists are engaging with the villagers. In front of a small shed, Patricia Townsend is talking to a man wearing shorts, his hands folded behind his back. On the far right, Bill Townsend is talking to a young ?boy wearing white shorts and a white hat [?appears in T.68683], who is perched on one end of a large log. The third man, ?Meggitt is standing between them, ?looking on. Houses are on the other side of the river. [Andrew Moutu 20/02/04]
