Slave Quarters

History
3
At Annaberg, enslaved people lived in typical wattle and daub huts on the slope below, used primarily for sleeping and household storage. These huts had woven stick walls, dirt floors, and tyre palm roofs, with exteriors plastered with fresh cow dung, clay, or a mixture of sand, lime, and water. Bedding consisted of sacks stuffed with coconut husks, while cooking and chores were done in the surrounding yard.
