Abstract
This is a short description of the fortress-like community storehouses, AGADIR, still common among the Shluh during the 1920's. Each family owns a number of rooms in it and is responsible for the building up-keep of this part of the AGADIR. The guard or guards to watch the stored food are paid in kind by every family.
