English term or phrase: boat-topped houses

Si tratta di un testo riguardante le antiche popolazioni indigene del Canada, ecco un po' di contesto:

The Maritime Archaic is one group of North America's Archaic culture of sea-mammal hunters in the subarctic. They prospered from approximately 7,000 BCE-1,500 BCE (9,000-3,500 years ago) along the Atlantic Coast of North America. Their settlements included longhouses and boat-topped temporary or seasonal houses.

Qualcuno ha idea di cosa sia una "boat-topped house"?

Grazie in anticipo!

Esistono tuttora case con questo tipo bizzarro di tetto, anche in Scozia, come puoi vedere in questa pagina:

"We encountered a few quirky features of Shetland along the way. These boat topped houses for instance are not unusual, but this was my favourite."
