Description:
Two circles of rocks laid on the ground, the first step in the process of constructing a hut, marking out the wall circumference. A building with its walls partly built can be seen to the left, with uprights placed between the stones and horizontal stems woven between them. Each small grouping 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.
