Houses and Building Settlements

In the stone age, Ireland was covered with big trees. There are no fields to raise animals or fields to cultivate crops. The first farmers had to cut down a lot of trees to build a large village and open up a farm. To do this, they use stone axes or sometimes they burn trees

This picture shows the type of house and cottage where the hunter - collector lives. As you can see, this house is not as strong as a neolithic house. It is made of wood and shaped like a tent. Some of the hunter gatherers used animal skins when building temporary houses.

When the first farmers cleaned up enough trees, they began planting crops such as wheat, barley, and wheat. They also began to keep animals such as pigs, sheep, cows. These people are very organized. They live together in a big group and work

People of the Neolithic Age built a more powerful house than hunter gatherers. This is because they do not have to walk around like a hunter gatherer.

This picture shows how the Neolithic house was built. The outer wall is made of mud and the bottom is made of stone. This makes the entire building very strong and strong. The mud wall is also covered with wood. This makes them more waterproof. The roof is also made of wood and covered with a crocodile made of reed. At the moment, most houses have holes in the roof to allow smoke to pass through. This means that the first farmers can cook food at their home.

We know a lot about these people because archeologists have discovered and discovered what they did when people lived long ago. You will find more information in the archeological section.
