Evans-Pritchard notes that 'The Jumjum of Khor Jumjum occupy one straggling village, and there is at least one similar village at Gebel Tunya, and I believe, two or three.
Each village consists of homesteads, separated from each other by about a hundred yards, dotted about in the bush amid Tebeldis and Ardebs.
Each homestead consists of from two to three huts, a granary, and huts for the shelter of pigs and goats.
These villages were formerly nearer to hill Tunya, but they have been moved farther from its foot to where water is more plentiful.' [Chris Morton 16/2/2004]
