wattle-and-daub
Mud-and-stick building
Wattle-and-daub is a traditional building technique using interwoven branches or sticks (wattle) coated with a mixture of mud, clay, and straw (daub).
The wattle provides structure while the daub seals and insulates.
Common in medieval European construction and many cultures worldwide: The cottage walls were wattle-and-daub, whitewashed over.
