Abstract
An ethnoarchaeological analysis of house buildings in Nilo-Saharan communities of Western Ethiopia is presented. The goal is to show that houses in these communities have a common spatial layout, and that several variations of their inner distribution have been implemented throughout their history, even within a single ethnic group. This common spatial layout is materialized in a type of house that orders actions and social practices involving human and things according to the physiological principles of the human body.Downloads
