  • Wattle and Daub

    An interesting piece of history. Some of the clay that covered the lower part of N.A.'s houses. This piece in first photo shows the impression of the wood it was pressed up against.

            I knew the Cherokee and other Southeastern tribes used wattle & daub in construction of some of their long houses but never considered the existence of artifacts to provide proof. Cool!

              Totally new stuff to me. I'm guessing I won't find any of that around here. I'm going to read about that. Thanks for sharing

                    We still find chunks of it in the fields, especially after a big rain. It’s hard as a rock, and I guess they used cane to form mats to bake this mud onto to form walls, because you can usually see the impressions from the cane, and sometimes the woven pattern.
