The houses at the beginning of the New Stone Age were made of Wattle and daub.

During the prehistoric age, Wattle and daub a technique was used for the construction of the walls thousands of years ago.

Wattle is made up of wooden strips or thin branches. And Daub is made up of a mixture of wet soil, clay, sand, animal dung, and straw.
