Is there any information in regards to the appearance or construction of Greek houses outside of the city? Small villages, farms or other rural buildings for example.
I am assuming that they would be adobe or stone block construction with a thatched roof?
Classical period ideally, but earlier and later will also be helpful.

I might be able to help you out a bit more later on, but I know that a number of Greek farmsteads have been found in southern Italy and in the Crimea; you may want to turn to those regions to get a better idea of the construction of such houses.
Hi Ruben,
Thanks for the pointers. I haven't had any luck finding information on the Italian or Crimean ones you mention, im probably not looking in the right place. Any help you could offer would be very much appreciated. Im making some model houses, so external appearence, construction and rough dimentions are all that is important right now.
p.s. I've just noticed your sinature. Im half way through Blood Meridian, Cormac McCarthy is one of my favourite authors.
Good posting, David! Great resource!
