The material culture of the Manasir is very basic and primarily relies on the by-products of palm tree cultivation (cf. Date cultivation in Dar al-Manasir). Date trees not only constitute the main source of income and an important supply of nutrition in Dar al-Manasir, but the Manasir also make intelligent use of all different parts of the palm tree. From it they produce diverse household items, garden tools and building material for their traditional mud houses. (cf. Architecture in Dar al-Manasir). What follows is a list of raw materials gathered from the date palm and the products that can be manufactured from them. ==Garidah (جريدة)== ''Garidah'' is the midrib part of the palm leaf. In order to be used as a raw material the ''Garidah'' is stripped of its leaflets and spikes and its broad petiole is removed. ''Garidat'' are an esteemed raw material for the production of robust containers and furniture. The Manasir use it to manufacture small boxes (''Sunduq'', صنضق) in which they carry vegetables to the weekly market at ''Suq Salamat'' (سوق سلمات). Additionally, ''Garidah'' is a good fencing material used for making small hutches called ''Qafas'' (قفص) to protect the chicken against wild animals. The Manasir also use it as roofing material to thatch their traditional mud houses (''Galus'', جالوص). ---- 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Material culture of the Manasir」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
