How the room is composed

A square main room centers on the hearth, with stone beds, dresser, storage cells, and entrance passage set symmetrically into thick walls.
materials
Flagstone slabs, rubble, clay, turf, hide, woven fibre, bone, and driftwood create a low protected prehistoric dwelling.
furniture
Built-in stone beds, shelves, dresser and boxes combine with hide bedding, baskets, pottery, and small portable tools.
lighting
The entrance passage and roof opening admit grey island light while the central fire grazes fitted stone surfaces and deep recesses.
decoration
Incised stone marks, Grooved Ware pottery, woven baskets, bone tools, and the formal stone dresser provide restrained material focus.
