* * *: 6 6.5.1 DRYSTONE MASONRY STRUCTURES<br />

Flooring<br />

The bottom of the hole was earth.<br />

Op<strong>en</strong>ings<br />

As the sketch would suggest it<br />

appears that the tank had 6 op<strong>en</strong>ings:<br />

a doorway and 5 bombarderes<br />

(ho<strong>les</strong>) to let snow into the hole.<br />

The doorjambs consist of large stones<br />

placed on top of one another.<br />

The bombardera on the short side<br />

has a wood<strong>en</strong> lintel made of five wild<br />

olive tree trunks while the rest of the<br />

bombarderes were smaller.<br />

Accessory items<br />

Near the snow pit the snow workers'<br />

shelter, a dry stone masonry well with<br />

no surrounding wall and some terraces<br />

to help with snow collection<br />

were built. It also has a snow workers'<br />

track called ses Voltes d'<strong>en</strong><br />

Galileu along which the ice was<br />

transported using animals.<br />

The shelter, the snow workers' temporary<br />

dwelling, is a rectangular<br />

structure divided into two areas: one<br />

for stabling with a manger and the<br />

snow workers' living area with a larder<br />

and a stone shelf. This structure<br />

had a two sloped roof using the<br />

same frame, cross beam and tile<br />

system. The only op<strong>en</strong>ing was the<br />

doorway.<br />

EI fans del clot era de terra.<br />

Obertures<br />

Tal com reflecteix la reproducci6<br />

idealitzada, sembla que el diposit<br />

per introduir la neu a I'interior<br />

del clot. Eis brancals del portal<br />

estan formats per la superposici6 de<br />

pedres de grans dim<strong>en</strong>sions. <strong>La</strong><br />

bombard era del costat curt pres<strong>en</strong>ta<br />

la llinda de lI<strong>en</strong>yam, concretam<strong>en</strong>t<br />

amb 5 troncs d'ullastre. <strong>La</strong> resta de<br />

<strong>les</strong> bombarderes er<strong>en</strong> mes petites.<br />

Elem<strong>en</strong>ts accessoris<br />

AI voltant de la casa de neu es localitz<strong>en</strong><br />

el porxo de nevater, un pou de<br />

<strong>pedra</strong> <strong>en</strong> <strong>sec</strong> s<strong>en</strong>se call i algunes<br />

marjades per facilitar la recollida de<br />

neu. Tambe te associat un camf de<br />

nevaters, conegut com ses Voltes<br />

d'<strong>en</strong> Galileu, que permetia el transport<br />

del gel amb bfsties.<br />

EI porxo, habitatge temporal dels<br />

nevaters, es una estructura de planta<br />

rectangular dividida <strong>en</strong> dues<br />

zones: I'es-tablia, amb una m<strong>en</strong>jadora,<br />

i I'estanga dels nevaters, amb<br />

un rebost i un prestatge de <strong>pedra</strong>.<br />
