Traditional Dwellings of the Chechens and Ingush in the Nineteenth Century: The Interrelationship of Domestic and Defensive Functions

Öz

This article examines the relationship between domestic life, household production, and defensive needs in traditional Chechen and Ingush dwellings during the nineteenth century. It aims to explain how internal spatial arrangements and the surrounding settlement contributed to household security. The study combines historical comparison, source criticism, and functional typology, drawing on nineteenth-century descriptions, early ethnographic records, and architectural scholarship. Construction dates are distinguished from observation dates and periods of use. The analysis indicates that domestic and defensive functions were not invariably concentrated within a single building; they could also be distributed across dwellings, courtyards, outbuildings, and battle towers. Floor allocation, entrances, hearths, storage spaces, and livestock accommodation shaped these relationships. Thick walls and narrow openings require interpretation in relation to climate and structural requirements as well as defence. Movement towards foothill and plain settlements, alongside military and administrative changes, altered these arrangements unevenly. The article offers a comparative interpretation that relates architectural similarities and differences to local environments, family relationships, and economic resources rather than to ethnic distinctions alone, while acknowledging the limitations of retrospective evidence.
