May you have an satellite image of that mentioned black spot to publicize? </div></div><div><br></div><div>Are these rounded things wells, or polls, (mostly public), or none of them?</div><div>Its all here: <a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/edit?editor=id&%20#map=19/14.44470/-11.48133" target="_blank">http://www.openstreetmap.org/edit?editor=id&#map=19/14.44470/-11.48133</a></div><div><br></div><div><img src="cid:ii_1495a3781f5ff297" alt="Imagem inline 1" width="562" height="531"><br></div><div><b><br></b></div><div><b>What I think it is:</b></div><div><b><br></b></div><div><img src="cid:ii_1495a448b8c17568" alt="Imagem inline 3" width="562" height="531"></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>1-On the left and above on the screen shown, there is what seems some round huts in dark color: they seem brown, with shadows bigger than ground and fences, to the side above the ground (hut, if they are closed with walls, or a shelter if open, but can't know if open or closed to be specifically tagged). Besides there seems to be fences since are very irregular, not straight, but it could be walls; perhaps more probably walls of bricks, since shows no light failures through its shadows, mud bricks.<br></div><div><br></div><div>2-In the central common/public place, there are two rounded shapes, around 1 and 2m diameter, both with shadows of walls seeming to be above the ground. The one with 1m seems dark in inner side, so deeper than ground, so looks like a public well. The one with 2m seems bright in innner side, so in the level of ground or almost. So looks like a public reservoir, like a pool but with small walls. Some like one spot in extreme right, with bright color in inner side, around 1m diameter, seems to have walls above the ground, seems it also can be a well.</div><div><br></div><div>3-Other, like the one brown to right, is around 4-5m wide, same widht of others that seemed to be huts. Seems have no shadow of walls above the ground, only to downside, so seems a pool, or some kind of small reservoir.</div><div><br></div><div><div style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">I guess now maybe I'm realising a patterns around: </div><div style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">I only saw before what seemed to be high and closed water constructions around 2m wide and almost on the level of roofs. </div><div style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">The rest I thought it was fences (for small animals like goats, chicken; perhaps there are).</div><div style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><b>But now I think almost every house seems having an </b><b>open reservoir squared 1-2m side, with small walls above the ground (shadows not longer than fences) to people can get to</b></div></div><div><br></div><div>Don't know if is much important to know this.
