I love looking at drawings like this, they take me right back to my childhood looking at drawings of castles and stuff.
They're surprisingly hard to find, at least for free and online. One of these days I'm gonna go on a spending spree and pick up a bunch of diagram-picture books like this.
I'll translate it here for the benefit of other posters, as there's lots of good info there. Left image:
- [top left] fortress
- [top centre] defence tower
- [top right] AN IBERIAN SETTLEMENT
- [immediately below the above] central street: the life of the settlement was organised around it. Most habitations were on its both sides.
- [bottom left] plaza: it was the meeting place of the inhabitants of the settlement
- [bottom] walls: they surrounded the settlement and were made of stone.
Right image:
- [top left] A CELTIC SETTLEMENT
- [top centre-right] public buildings: at the centre of the settlement, usually there were buildings intended for political and religious purposes.
- [top right] hut: round shaped. The walls were made of adobe and stores; the roof was made of branches and straw
- [almost bottom left] lifestock enclosure: some livestocks was stored inside the settlement.
- [bottom] walls: the settlements were surrounded by a circular wall made of stone.
Corrections welcome given that I don't speak Catalan at all.
Good translation.
Just one thing, you wrote stores when in reality is stones (probably corrector error).
I have no idea on why your comment only appeared for me today (13/jan), but thank you for pointing this out! I've fixed it.
Thank you!
From where did you get those Catalan textbook images?? I literaly studied with that book when i was young.
