Description:

Men carrying a pile of mixed earth and grass to a hut site, with a older man seated looking on. The earth mixture seems to be being built up around the circle of stones seen in other images to form a low wall, perhaps within which a wooden wall structure will be built. To the right is an earth-covered wattle structure with stakes emerging from the walls, raised off the ground on stones, probably a storage building. Each small settlement enclosure such as this was the residence of a man, his wives and unmarried children, and sometimes also sons-in-law with families.
