Miner's settlement in Gortavallig — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Mud, fire and repeated choice built Gortavallig into a working settlement rather than a passive discovery. People may have returned because the site gave back enough to keep them alive, not because brilliance first touched the place.
