The seasonal nature of the production of the Violet Galmi onion in irrigation in the Bénoué department essentially limits its availability on the markets throughout the year. The objective of this study is to assess postharvest losses with a view to storing bulbs of the Violet de Galmi variety onions in a farming environment in the locality of Garoua, North-Cameroon. On a sample of 55 onion bulbs chosen at random from a farmer's store, the following parameters were recorded every two weeks and for four months of storage: the weight of the bulbs and the count of rotten and sprouted bulbs. During the entire storage period, the weight of the bulbs gradually decreases. Rotten bulbs represented the largest loss of 9.1 percent, followed by mass loss of 6.9 percent and sprouted bulbs 5.5 percent. The overall loss rate during the entire storage period is 21.5 percent.

The mapping process of the relicts within the whole 'Marea' archaeological site in urban scale has been initiated by the author in 2018. The area subjected to the documentation covers almost 60 ha (150 ac) and is a significant part of the peninsula projecting into Lake Maryut in Northern Hawwariya.
The created map depicts not only the urban settlement but its scope covers its environs of agricultural and manufacturing character. As a result, the work's outcomes give a picture of spatial relations in their wider contexts, from architectural, through urban to landscape scale. It makes possible to study the peculiarities of the site during the Byzantine period, as it has never been disturbed by any later interventions.
During the seminar the methodology of the survey will be presented as well as conclusions of preliminary settlement’s analyses will be discussed, with the special focus on the urban planning issues.
