Prehistoric Peer Discussion

I reviewed Cally and Jackson's blogs.
I think the current application of the cave house that she found! I never thought of living in a cave being eco friendly, and it was cool to see how someone would decorate a house like that.
What I liked about Jackson's was the current application as well. It awesome that the homes look almost the same, they just are closed off now. Living in the middle of the desert, I can understand that you still have to build your homes just off surrounding materials.

Prehistoric Period

Homes that were built in the prehistoric periods were made of materials that were nearby and available. The only homes that survived were made of durable materials (which were very few). 

Igloos in Arctic regions.

Underground homes in the Sahara Desert called Matmatas.

Even though in this time period furniture was not used often, patterns and colors were still used for other items, such a woven blankets, baskets, rugs, and clothing. Colors all played an important role, just like it does today, relating to society, religion, and tribal loyalties. Any furniture that was made was made out of wood and stone. It would be used for mainly shelving and sleeping platforms.



There are modern day homes that resemble a prehistoric stone feel. Igloos have also been upgraded!


Resort in the Arctic. 

Here is a video that shows other types of prehistoric homes:
