Starting Question

What production conditions are necessary for Erdställe to be planned, built and maintained?

02

Substrate

Rock, geometry, lighting, air, spoil removal, tools, surveying and working time constitute the primary explanatory layer.

03

Hypothesis Space

Hypotheses about use are evaluated by how well they explain documented construction effort and spatial characteristics.
