Conversations with family members who lived there and contributed to it being built provided information from which a map of the village and a storyboard that revealed slices of their way of life could be constructed. These fragmented stories provide some insight into the arrangement of space and everyday objects that make different encounters possible, their rituals, habits, gender roles and social and family structures.
