International audienceIt is probably from the protonédeolithic epochs (-15,000 BCE), with the first signs of sedentarisation that man began to use raw earth to build his habitat. Its use by other animal species and some forms of natural erosion may have allowed to have a good idea of what could be achieved with this material, while special circumstances, such as the humidification and drying cycles of the banks of a river undoubtedly inspired the first techniques for modeling the raw earth according to needs. Thus, all over the world and from the observation of his environment, man has developed building systems and specific know-how to create his habitat based on raw earth, often combining it with other resources that he also found on the ...
