Neolithic (New Stone Age) Houses, Stonehenge, Wiltshire. These two huts are reconstructions of Neolithic houses. Their shape is based on excavations of Neolithic houses at Durrington Walls. They are made from thin hazel rods woven around upright posts (like a hazel hurdle fence).

28 Νοε 2021 · Neolithic artwork consists mostly of pottery, terracotta sculptures, statuettes, various smaller pieces that were utilized as adornments, Neolithic drawings like engravings and wall paintings, pictograms, and most notably megalithic structures – think Stonehenge (we will get to that).
Architecture. One of Ҫatalhöyük’s most defining attributes was its inhabitants’ gradual, continuous building and rebuilding of their houses. These houses were very important to all aspects of their lives: material, social and ritual.
Houses were rectangular, with one-room or possessed an open or closed porch (megaron-type). They were built independently of each other, on the ground floor as a rule, while there are indications that two-storey dwellings (Sesklo) also existed.
The Neolithic Houses help to reconnect the ancient stones with the people that lived and worked in the Stonehenge landscape. Visitors can step through the door of these houses and get a real sense of what everyday life might have been like when Stonehenge was built.
What were houses like in the Stone Age? These resources have been created by pupils from The Hall Primary School, Leicestershire. They are based on information from this Interactive Prehistory Timeline showing the changes in Britain from the Stone Age to the Iron Age and other research done by the pupils.
