I read Dana and Desiree's blog posts for the Prehistoric period. Both of these posts focus on the examples of architecture during the prehistoric era. For instance, Skara Brae (a neolithic village in Scotland) was similar to modern homes in that the kitchen/cooking areas tend to the be the heart of a home. Also, we see the first examples of furniture that have survived, much of it built in stone. It's difficult to find many artifacts from this time period - however, the Venus of WIllendorf is a carved object that has survived and is one of the only clues about the culture left from this period. Also, just as in prehistoric times, the people in Matmata, Tunisia build homes underground using the natural landscape for structure and protection.
