Description:
Men carrying piles of mixed earth and grass on shoulder poles to a hut site, ready for applying to the wattle walls. In the background is a small hut raised off the ground on short stone piles, possibly a granary. 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.
