     Yep, mud huts are still being used to this day, why even bho's "beloved" African family is still living in one.  Unlike the Wannabe African man bho. ::)

Wattle and daub houses were the common type used by the Cherokee here in the southern Appalachians, and we have one of the highest annual average rainfalls on the continent. Most of the reconstructions I've seen had overhanging roofs.

Cow dung was another popular parging material for wattle and daub ::)  Then you could talk about how crappy your house is without it being a bad thing ;D
