Description

The foundation of the village was comprised of nearly five thousand piles, driven into the sandy bed of the lake, at about two meters in depth. The analysis of these diments that is currently underway will make it possible tounderstand, whether the huts were built in the water,or on land. The village was circular in plan, with a diameter of seventy meters .From the alignment of the piles, it is possible to recognise the floor plans of huts and pens, perhaps where animals were kept. The bronze objects found on the bed of the lakewere in clusters, which makes it possible to reconstruct, how the women dressed and how the warriors were armed.
