Ấp Bá Canh (Ba Canh Hamlet)
A green and white sheet titled 'Ấp Bá Canh' (Ba Canh Hamlet) shows a line of villagers in conical hats carrying baskets of broken stone on shoulder poles beside a large pile of rubble. The sheet has no other text. The tell is the single title over a photograph of communal labour, which presents the work as the hamlet's own.
