We report on a wide-field submillimeter continuum survey of the NGC 2068/2071 protoclusters in the Orion B cloud complex. We used the SCUBA bolometer array on JCMT to map a 32'x18' region in size (~4pcx2pc) at 850 and 450 microns. Our survey shows that the dense cores mapped in CS(2-1) by Lada et al. (1991ApJ...368..432L) and labelled with LBS numbers break up into 82 small-scale (~5000AU) fragments. The latter include 70 starless condensations, believed to be the immediate progenitors of accreting protostars, and 5 circumstellar envelopes/disks around protostars. The nature of the 7 remaining cloud fragments is unclear because their dust continuum emission is largely contaminated by line emission.
