Une petite maison dans la forêt

In the Neolithic and the Bronze Age, stilt-house settlements were common in the Alpine and Pianura Padana (Terramare) regions. Remains have been found at the Ljubljana Marshes in Slovenia and at the Mondsee and Attersee lakes in Upper Austria, for example.Stilt houses are built primarily as a protection against flooding; they also keep out vermin. The shady space under the house eventually can be used for work or storage.
