LOW WALLSS

The Big People built winter shelters by overturning their skin boats upon two low stone walls. Each site features two low stone walls fifteen to eighteen feet apart. The walls extend from thirty-six feet to over ninety feet. Researchers Lee and Plummet have writen excellant reports on these longhouses.

Plummet published carbon 14 data that indicate the foundations were built during the five centuries before the Dark Ages. The same data show a five-century span of occupation before the dark ages. There was nearly a five hundred-year gap in occupation of the low walls. Then the next occupation, covering four centuries, centered on the Little Ice Age. (Plumet, 1982)
