by Christian Lassure

A conference with slide show
given at the Musée  des Arts et Traditions Populaires in Paris
in Jean Cuisenier's and Jean-Marie Pesez 's classes (1977-1978)

Part 4

18 - Group II: freestanding hut IIa

No precise function has been ascribed to this hut by Mr. Viala. Yet, what is left of a former hearth and chimney clearly points to the building having been used - or reused - as a dwelling.

19 - Ditto: view of the gable-wall façade

20- Former wheat-threshing yard

A large, flat expanse of outcropping rock can be seen at the back of Group Ia. A channel cut into the stone serves to evacuate rainwater.
