http://www.woodlands.co.uk/ An Anglo Saxon house based on Anglo Saxon history. A reconstruction of an Anglo Saxon home built over a pit by the East Sussex Archaeology and Museums Partnership. A style of building which could be copied and used in woods and forests to form a shelter today. http://woodlands.co.uk

I imagine the main problem would have been damp. I think they had a pit with a wooden floor of strong branches which subsequently rotted (evidence gone) . The air would pass through keeping the floor dry
rubbish and ashes could drop through, and rodents not enter – if the entrances had a door
they called em' sod houses 'ear in the states..

Potatoes? Huge anachronism!
I like the house 😛
So beautiful
thanks for upload, respect! 😎
Hipsters would be all over this kind of construction, since modern roofs and walls are so "mainstream". However Hipsters also detest any physical labor beyond lifting a box of vinyl record or a six pack of PBR, so I doubt we will see these kinds of buildings in Williamsburg any time soon.Â
Wow, bitter much?
