Rectangular Earthlodge

The first earthlodges were constructed in a rectangular fashion. Walls were covered with brush and willow branches, followed by a thick insulating layer of earth.

 

Stone axes were used for cutting trees and shaping logs to build the lodges. Earth was carried in baskets of animal skin containers
