Dantooine: Hut

1180 7047, elevation 12. A large structure made of limestones and thatch. The stucture is a one-room, 13 paces wide, building and is supported by four large limestones at the base. The walls and roof are uniformly positioned, a hole in the roof is used to evacuate fire smoke. The entrance is supported by three large slabs and is oriented 100° SE.

A pen outside the building is buit with five disconnected fences. A circular whetstone and a weapon rack are accessible in the pen. The whetstone is round and rotates around an axis held by wooden plugs. The workbench is stabilized with stones. The weaponrack is also reinforced with wooden plugs. The weapons, all spears (3), are well polished on the shafts and the stone blades are finely chiseled. Dyed leather ribbons (ochre, blue, green) are used to keep the stone blades in the shafts.

A bol was standing nearby the building, without markings or signs of ownership. That it remained so close to the building while two Mokk hunters were outside the house and a fire was lit, suggests that Mokks have domesticated some bols.
