A man carries a bundle of reeds at a roadside reed market where fences, mats and structures are created from the reeds gathered in the Hammar marsh about 50 miles north of Basra. The reeds are basic building product for homes and fences in the traditional marsh Arab culture. Records can be found showing that the Sumerian people used reed construction. |
