Gut, The Traditional Settlement in Sangesari clans in summer posture The aim of this article is not only to describe the material, technological and structural characteristics of sangesari tent but also to analyze its different spaces ecoculturally at the basis of an qualitative-field study in ethnographic approach that is directed on nine sangesari nomadic pastoral clans who are still living in traditional manner. Our fields were camping period postures of the clans and beyond available documents the data were gathered via some ethnographic techniques such as fields three month attendance, simple direct observation, participatory observation and individual, group, open and semi structural interviews. Althought multioriented theoretically, this study concentrates mainly on environment and techniques as the most contributive factors in shaping cultures. thematically The findings include a fine description of material structure of tent, traditional techniques for construing the woolen cover of tent and ethnographical analysis of inner and surrounding different spaces of tent in relation to physical and cultural environments. Adding analytical cultural accounts to descriptional ones is an advantage of this study over the previous pure desciptional studies by other invistigators. The most important result of this study is that the technologies related to structing, settling and space dividing in inside and outsidesangesari tent are in a meaningful relationship to ecological characteristics and also to other cultural elements such as power, subsistency, family, labour division and kinship.
