30 - Chief's Residence

The largest house, constructed from hewn beams with a hipped roof (saddle roof with sloped “gables”). The chief’s status is represented by weapons and armor, human skulls as war trophies, as well as luxury or imported items such as bronze vessels, painted pottery, jewelry, and amphorae with wine. The space can serve for political and business negotiations, as a feasting hall, and as the dwelling of the chief and his family.
