| Summary: |
These Chenchu houses in the plains are similar yet different to those built in the forest. They are circular with a conical thatch roof, but the walls are mud rather than bamboo wattle. While Furer-Haimendorf spent most of his time among the roughly 400 Chenchus living as hunters-gatherers on the Amrabad Plateau, most Chenchus (about 3,000) lived in villages in the plains. Chenchus lived near but were not integrated into the social life of these villages (dominated by Telugu peasant castes). |
