The Neolithic Period
The Neolithic period includes architecture that dates back to 9000 B.C. This architecture was found initially in Southwest Asia and eventually spread eastward and westward as time proceeded to the end of this period around 3000 B.C. People in the Neolithic period were great builders. They used natural items, such as mud-bricks, large stones, and timbers, to construct structures and buildings, like everyday houses and villages. Another technology used primarily for constructing walls for buildings was wattle and daubing. This building material is made by weaving wooden strips (wattle) and daubing them with a sticky substance, such as a mixture of wet soil and clay. This building style is still used even to this day. Timbers were used as beams in buildings that used wattle and daub, which helped make the building more durable and structurally sound.
The most popular structure that was created during this time period was the Stonehenge (as seen below), located in the English county of Wiltshire.
Wow we have come a long way! Is Stonehenge the only one still standing strong? Has it been damaged due to time? Do they fix it?
ReplyDeleteI noticed that our timelines differed a little, but roughly the same information. We also had some the same, but some different information about the Neolithic Period. A similarity in our blogs was rhat we both found the wattle and daub was used, and for the time, I feel like this is extremely effective. What do you think?
