Prehistoric stone structuresĭating back to around 3700 BCE, stone ceremonial structures began to appear across Europe. Humanity’s first interior designer was very much into the "stone-chic" look. A small open roof would likely have been covered with wood and turf, with the interiors consisting of stone seats, stone bed enclosures, a stone hearth, and storage areas. Stacked up without mortar, the stones were layered to slope inward and form a corbelled structural system. Structures like Skara Brae were built up of layers of flat stones. Skara Brae consists of eight clustered houses and is believed to have been inhabited from 3180 BCE to 2500 BCE. One particularly impressive Neolithic village is Skara Brae, located in the Orkney archipelago of Scotland. However, in areas of northern Europe, many structures were made with stone, and as such are still fairly intact to this day. Structures would typically also have a flat timber roof supported by posts that could then be filled with woven branches and covered with mud to create a sturdy wall structure. Most of the structures discovered that date back to this period were made of timber with a post-and-lintel system. As human settlements grew, and communal tasks were divided up, cooperation and collaboration meant that more sturdy structures could be constructed.
And how better to describe architecture? 2. Prehistoric housing materialsĪs humans began to form settlements during the Mesolithic to the Neolithic era, architecture began to branch out into more distinct architectural forms. Image sourceĪrchitectural anthropologist argue that Paleolithic humans may not have “invented” architecture, rather they were the first to gradually define and structure their surroundings in order to create spaces that allowed them to better understand the world and their place in it. Paleolithic villages began shaping their surroundings by creating huts from woolly mammoth bones. These huts ranged in diameter from 13 to 33 feet, some with ashes and charred bones suggesting the presence of a hearth inside. The village revealed a cluster of huts made of woolly mammoth bones which provided an intricate framework for structures. With the earliest human settlements that incorporated some form of architecture dating back as far as 40,000 BCE, there’s very little evidence to work with.Ī Paleolithic village was successfully excavated in Mezhirich in the Ukraine dating back to approximately 15,000 BCE. Prehistoric architecture is notoriously difficult to reconstruct as most of the materials used by prehistoric man was made of fibrous materials that decay over time. For an era that is so vast it’s difficult to recognise any real themes in its architecture, but there are a few key forms and concepts that pre-date any known civilization, and were significant enough that they would influence key architectural developments in the centuries and millennia to come.
This makes the prehistoric era one that is very difficult to define, dating back tens of thousands of years. In other words from a time before mankind was capable of recording its history in writing.
