Well, I ended up so far building a wattle and daub house for my family with a modern roof. We are living in the house in New Mexico, USA for the past 4 years. I still hope to build one with the conical thatched roof here at some point! @@SteffanGarryHill
Suprisingly, the neolithic farmers built long houses, but as the pressure on the land increased, materials got smalerl, and at the end of the period they went over to round houses because they were stronger than a wobbly longhouse!
@@jakobpetrov1750 early stone age folks were more mobile, and evidence suggests shelters and tents. Don't forget the climate was much warmer after the ice age, and did not drop to present levels until late iron age.
@@gdfreeman1950 Thanks for the answers. I have one more question. I am interested if there is a possibility of getting to this Butser Farm with Erasmus as a student to have practical lessons there do you have this possibility ?
Very good job
Fascinating, and so clearly explained. Thank you!
So now we finally know what happened to Dr. Freeman. He settled down to live in a iron age village building round houses. :-)
Great video! I'm planning to make one of these in the US. thanks!
In usa? How? Which state?

Thank you. Very informative.
Thank You
We had round houses in north Dakota USA as Mandan Dakota peoples before the arrival of the wasicus.
Round houses were also used in Galicia. Many remains of them can still be seen today as the foundations were stone.
Yeah Celts, same people.
My later experiments pushed wall hieghts up to 2m
I feel we need a talk on iron age moustaches.
This is my purpose to build these in britain....
I wish i was born in Iron Age Ireland
Maybe it's your job to rebuild it.
@@SteffanGarryHill maybe you’re correct.
Wouldn't it be more logical that they first started building roundhouses and then rectangular ?

@@gdfreeman1950 Oh I see. But in the stone age they had round tents wight?
Right
