Description:
A group of men hoeing the ground in an area of cultivation near to Abwong village on the south bank of the Sobat River, probably preparing the ground for the first sowing of millet and maize.
This fits with the May-July period in which Evans-Pritchard's 1935 fieldwork was undertaken.
Cultivation, along with fishing, was considered a subsidiary but necessary activity by the cattle keeping Nuer.
