Collective work supplied male-performed infrastructure maintenance per household.

Evidence

Collective work typically involved infrastructure maintenance performed by men, including fence repair, road maintenance, and addressing emergent problems. Each household sent one representative, who could be substituted by family members or, in Settlement 8, by hired workers. Settlers understood the resource that collective work provided for the group. — Jessica Carrick-Hagenbarth, Institutional Bricolage and Commoning…, 83
