The wooden houses, numbering over fifty, were arranged in a neat and compact manner, forming a tight-knit community. Each house was built to withstand the harsh winter weather, with sturdy roofs and insulated walls to keep the inhabitants warm during the cold months.

The harsh climate and limited resources in such regions often dictated the need for close-knit communities. By building fewer houses and clustering them together, the villagers could share resources and support one another in times of need.
