The storage vessels found in the village corners feature smooth surfaces, elements that appear to be designed to defend against zokors (mole-like rodents).
Much evidence of rodent bones found suggests they consume quite a bit of millet. “Apparently the rodents ate the farmer’s grain,” Marshall said.
