HEARTH & HOME, THEN & NOW ©

This Neolithic settlement at Skara Brae, Orkney, Scotland.
British archaeologists find a Neolithic settlement near Stonehenge.
Our ancestors built many of their home with stone. Using local materials for construction makes it possible for everyone to have a home.
The construction of crannogs uses less permanent materials and they sit more lightly on the earth with less of a footprint in time.
See how the crannog returns to nature when it is abandoned.

Wattle and Daub and Cob homes are also constructed with local materials
