And of course, sometimes we see houses that

was meant for only one family.

But we also see houses that could be for multiple families.

So to begin with, they are often rounded.

And then the houses could also be sort of clover-shaped, depending on if you have two, three, or four families staying under the same roof.

Exactly.

And then that niche is for your sleeping platform.

And then when you imagine you have that cold trap and you have your lamp going on, but you also have people's body heat and you could also insulate the walls with skins on the inside.

So it could be really warm inside those winter houses.

To begin with, we actually see a sort of assembly house.

People have their own houses or maybe for two families.

And then you have an assembly house where people can meet.

It's called the Qassi.

That's where you meet.

You could dance.

You could sing.

You could tell your stories and entertain one another.

You could laugh and probably also sing.

spook one another because that's also a way of connecting with people.

And later on we see, and now we're in the 1600s, the middle of the 1600s, we start seeing what we call communal houses.
