    THE STRUCTURE

    The structure of the wall is di,ided in to three sections-

    The outer sections ade out of large stones at the botto

    kee" the whole structure r& u" right and steady.

    And there is the iddle section sall rocks and stones.

    THE REASON WHY THEE MIDDLE SECTION ISUP OF SMALL ROCKS AND STONES INSTEAD

    CONCRETE.

    A few of these are -

    kee"ing the traditional way of building it.

    the sall rocks and stones in the iddle as well

    those larger ones on the outside "ro,ide a natural

    ltration syste& the water "asses through the wall

    and the soil says on the other side in the eld.

    It also ser,es as a hoe and shelter for insects and

    creatures in the area.

    And it is a way that the farer could reuse the

    stones and rocks found in the soil.

    The farer or the "erson aking the wall doesn/t need only the sk

    to "lace and t the stones and rocks in "lace but he needs to know

    i"ortant rules that the higher the wall gets the narrower the widt

    wall and the saller the rocks and stones.

    As if they are aking a co"le0 "u11le.

    2n the o""osite side at the botto the stones are larger& this is so

    could ser,e as a good "edient.

    WHY ARE THE WALLS SOME TIMECURVED?

    If the wall gets to a cetin height& the builder of it would not continu

    it in a straight line but start gi,ing it turns and cur,es in its sha"e

    $"referably+. This is a "recaution& if a "art of the wall falls o,er it w

    tuble down the rest as shown in gure two and gure three.

    IL- GIRNA il3girna also known in England as the !altese stone

    hut was a structure created for the farers needs. The a#ority of the ha,e the circular sha"e the sae

    sha"e shown in fugure ) . ou could say the traditional

    way is a circular sha"e.

    But still others ha,e the sae a""earance fro the

    outside but ha,e a di5erent interior structure.

    6oe e,en ha,e ste"s built on the outer circuference

    there for the owner $ostly of the tie a farer+ could

    use the to" "art of the girna for reasons such as "lacing

    the "u"kin in the sun and to dry other things.

    DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE DRY STONAND THE MALTESE STONE HUT

    The di5erence is that the !altese stone hut is ore water tight du

    sall rocks and stones in the iddle are ore co"act and there

    ore water out.

    As in the sha"e it is ,ery basic sha"e which isn/t co"le0 and two

    2ne of the ost interesting things about the %u11u are the "air of ey

    THE MALTESE CART (KARRETTUN

    The !altese cart was a ,ery old ethod of trans"ortation to carry

    ob#ects& goods and large stones for building walls and old houses.

    A cart was alost all handade and it took tie and good crafts

    build one.

    It was ade fro etal and strong hard wood such as beech $fagu

    $fra00nu+ so the whole cart was ,ery hea,y.

    It had two wooden wheels at the back& two long hori1ontal stri"s.

    Between the de"ending on the si1e of the cart were connected ,

    stri"s and at the far end there were two ore stri"s crossing each which were at a higher le,el than the ,ertical stri"s so the ob#ects

    would not roll o,er when they would be on a down wards "osition.

    The wheel was usually ade fro si0 too ,e stri"s that were conn

    7irst they would bend a "iece of etal.

    Then they would heat u" the etal and "ut it around the wooden circ

    because they always ade the etal saller than the frae& when th

    cools down it would shrink back in si1e and tighten u" with the frae

    hel"ed to ake the whole wheel stronger.

    The si1e of the cart de"ended on what it wasgoing to be used for.6oe of these sall carts were "ainted blue&green or orange and were decorated with war"s$tberl+ design as they were used to sell goodsback then in the streets.
