"Li Le is known as one of the people who lived and buried their dead along the Anapo River. Pantalica - a complex of over 4000 thumbs carved in the rocks a millennium BC - doesn't tell us much about the way the living found shelter."
"Since very few traces of commoners' architecture have been found, we can only imagine that the valley's inhabitants used light construction techniques and local organic materials to build their homes."
Li Le lived and buried their dead along the Anapo River. Pantalica, a complex of over 4000 thumbs carved in the rocks a millennium BC, provides substantial burial evidence but limited information about domestic life. Very few traces of commoners' architecture have been found in the valley. The archaeological record emphasizes rock-cut tombs while obscuring ordinary shelters. The valley's inhabitants likely relied on locally available organic materials and light construction techniques for homes. Preservation bias toward durable funerary features therefore masks the building practices and material culture of everyday life.
