It was found that Trobrianders used to live in the thatched huts in which some of them had metal roof coverings. The huts were seen to have a veranda in the front, where most of the time used to be spent chewing betel, carving and visiting their neighbors. It was found that the people who lived in the coastal villages used to sell fish to the inlanders. The Yams were considered to have both food and wealth and there were different gardens for each of them. It has been seen that the village rises early and just after the breakfast, the women are seen to gather water as men sit on the front porch, chewing betel which is a nut that has roughly the same stimulant activity as we see in coffee.
