CHAPTER III
5/34

The deeper we penetrated into the mountains, the more common became these hut-walls, which stood about three feet high, and were possibly once surmounted by woodwork, or, perhaps, thatched roofs.

All the houses were small, generally only ten or twelve feet square, and they were found in clusters scattered over the summit or down the slopes of a hill.

On one summit we found only two ground plans in close proximity to each other.
The stones composing the walls were laid with some dexterity.

They were angular, but never showed any trace of dressing, except, perhaps, by fracture.

The interstices between the main stones were filled in with fragments to make the walls solid.
