Dantooine: Three Huts

271 3550, elevation 1. Three thatched huts positioned in triangle, all huts face inward and collapsed fences are still visible.

The position of the collapsed fences suggest that they enclosed this small village rather than they were used to keep domesticated animals.

This site adds to the series of abandoned or damaged thatched huts, suggesting that the Dantari have progressively moved away from this type of habitation to the benefit of the sturdier limestone / thatch structures and / or the limestone buildings.

Dantooine: Platform (II)

-1821 2803, elevation 2. A fenced platform guarded by three Mokk scouts. The platform is decorated with a weapon rack and a fence.

This is the second Mokk site with a platform that is not currently used for funerary purposes. It therefore raises the possibility that the use of platforms changes from one Dantari tribe to the next.

Dantooine: Fences (II)

-2581 2213, elevation 2. Fences have been positioned in a dry riverbed in such a way as to block the passage. These fences indicate a territorial boundary, reinforced by three markers. The fence is 50x long.

This site, along with the preceding site and the megalith with fences site clearly show territorial occupancy. In this light, the two statues overlooking a road encountered earlier may also indicate territorial occupancy.

The recognized presence of territorial occupancy appears as a precondition to political recognition among 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.
