The Ipurind hut must have undergone rapid modification at the end of the 19th century. In 1887, Ehrenreich (1891 a) described it as a vaulted structure 50 feet (15 m.) long and 33 feet (10 m.) wide, with an oval ground plan (fig. 96, top). The frame consisted of bent poles leaning against horizontal beams supported by slanting posts. The ridge pole rested on the rafters. A horizontal lath along the inside walls strengthened the frame. The hut was thatched with split palm leaves attached to long creepers. The Ipurind huts seen by Steere (1903) were huge gable roofs with rounded ends resting directly on the ground. Hammock posts were set up inside. The families lived in compartments separated by straw partitions. Yamamadi and Tucun-dyapa {Mangeroma) conical huts were among the largest huts known in South America. The dwellings of the former were up to 130 (40 m.) in diameter and 70 feet (22 m.) high; those of the latter were 150 (46 m.) wide and 40 feet (12 m.) high. The framework of the Yamamadi huts consisted of two concentric circles of 653333—47—45.
