Incredible Stone Age House: Primitive Technology 3,800BC

Here is a Stone Age Primitive House inspired by the 4,000 BC Horton Neolithic House excavated in Berkshire, England. Built with a Scots Pine roundwood timber frame, and 12 tons of reed thatch for the roof. With wattle and daub walls, a solid oak timber frame entrance with deer skin doors and complete with fire pit and deer skin beds inside. This replica Primitive House built at Butser Ancient Farm was inspired by the finds of Wessex Archeology. Only post holes and faint outlines of the foundations were discovered in Berkshire, England. We can only guess that the structure would have used a basic timber frame structure, likely an A-frame roof to shed water, and being near the river Thames, likely covered in water reed for the thatched roof.
