The "palace" was twice the height of other huts, and its entrance was wide enough that three could walk abrest. The walls were decorated — an unknown builder had scratched drawings in the clay while it was still wet. The faded scrawl depicted huge amphibians devouring smaller figures — some frog-headed, others not. Three of the four rooms boasted large holes filled with water, just like the other dwellings — though here there were steps descending into them, cut into the dirt. In the furthest room we found equipment decorating the walls — leather armor, spears, clubs... To our surprise, a number of items were well preserved. The hut was clearly deserted, so we felt no shame in taking some of it with us.
