How to build a stilted roundhouse
Speaker: Mark Knight, Cambridge Archaeological Unit
The charred, waterlogged remains of the preserved wooden architecture of the Must Farm pile-dwelling settlement included piles, ring beams, rafters, purlins, floor joists, wattle floors and walls. Non-wood elements involved clay, turves and straw. All the components necessary to build a home circa 850BC. The aim of this presentation is to provide a detailed ‘how to build a stilted roundhouse’ instruction manual, complete with a full list of parts and required tool kit.
