Description:
An unfinished hut, showing the upright wall posts planted in the earth between stones with horizontal sticks interwoven and an earth/grass wall base. The wall has been plastered on the inside using an earth/grass mixture and is awaiting an outer coating as well as roof. Each small settlement was the residence of a man, his wives and unmarried children, and sometimes also sons-in-law with families. Taken together, these groups of socially related enclosures formed hamlets, a sub-division of the larger canton or tribal sub-group, which had a chief.
