Les bories étaient des abris pour les bergers dans les pâturages les plus reculés. Voici un exemple de l'un des plus simples : une cabane en pierre sèche. Aujourd'hui, les bergers utilisent des motos pour rentrer chez eux après une journée de travail aux champs.
“Stonewall” Bench by AATISMO,
There is a technique known as dry stone walling, in which stone walls are built without using mortar or concrete, but only by the weight of the stones and their interlocking.
Despite the ease of their construction, if the stones are stacked properly, they are extremely long-lasting. Even if they collapse due to earthquakes or heavy rains, they can be quickly repaired by local people themselves. It was a familiar technique in people’s lives at that time.
When piling tall stonewalls, iron rods called “shousen” are inserted into the gaps between the stones, and a board is passed over them to provide a temporary scaffold for piling stones even higher.
