1. Ruínas de Habitação/ Family House Marker
As ruínas de uma construção circular que aqui podem ser vistas correspondem ao compartimento de uma habitação, também ela associada a um pátio e possuindo uma lareira central. Esta habitação tem a característica curiosa de possuir ainda um pouco de piso decorado com círculos. Tal como as outras ruínas também esta está associada a um lajeado. Neste caso não sabemos se era um caminho ou um pátio da casa.
As ruínas são muito frágeis. Por favor não as calque.
Here, the round building corresponds to the compartment of a family house. There is a piece of decorated clay floor. Like the other buildings this house has a part with stone floor. However in this case, we don't know if it is a yard or a road.
This ruins are very fragile. Please don't walk on them.
