* * *: 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 />
t<strong>en</strong>ia 6 obertures: un portal i 5 bombarderes<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 />
L'habitacle es cobria amb dos<br />
aiguavessos amb el mateix sistema<br />
d'embarrat, perllongues i teu<strong>les</strong>. L'unica<br />
obertura era el portal.<br />
