The Berber village in Lemzyen (M’zien) shows two traditional stone houses situated in the Atlas Mountains of Algeria. Looking at the 3-D images as well as color photos from the site, we can see the natural materials, namely stone and terracotta roof shingles, used in the construction of the two homes. The homes are nestled into the side of the mountain and are enclosed by a stone wall around them. Studying these buildings would work well during our semester 1 look at how natural resources affect the houses people build in various African eco-regions.
