Dantooine: Tribal Huts (II)

6605 1887, elevation 1. Two small stone and thatch huts. Two Mokk shamans. A discarded whetstone, a pontoon using platform technology. This location could be construed as a fishing village, but the disuse and the (re)allocation by the shamans suggest that within Mokk culture, riverside / lakeside settlements carry a mystical value.

Dantooine: Fishing Platform

1048 3623, elevation 0. A Kunga fishing platform. This structure seems to be one of a kind.

The platform is built on stilts directly in the water. It is large enough for two thatched huts to be built upon it, support the weight of a whetstone, a tanned hide, a fishrack and four Kunga hunters.

The choice of a thatched huts may, in this case, be explained with the precarious architecture, leaving little room for limestone buildings.

Of note, this fishing platform is used by "hunters", thus indicating the Kungas - and perhaps the Dantari at large - have no social function related to fishing. This appears as an interesting social biais given the oft observed fish dietary use of the Dantari.

Dantooine: Two Huts (II)

-2533 2608, elevation 21. A Mokk (damaged) village, currently occupied by two hunters.

Two small huts constitute the village, one is decorated with a bol skull on top. A marker overlooks the lake, warding from it. A whetstone is on location. A collapsed fence and two markers seem to indicate a village "entrance".

This site is the first obvious sign of territorial occupancy, with delineation. The presence of the markers may lead to a reinterpretation of former markers, bearing in mind that their primary function may not any longer be restricted to death or danger, but also to territorial occupancy. If such were the case, they would not be directed to members of the tribe, but also to members of other tribes, as a warning of enfrigement.
