[Cob] Cob in old West-observation

MY  favorite is The New World about the landing of  Captain John Smith
&sailors on American shores   a 14 year old NZ girl played the lead as
a 16 yr old she was great... when they get to the "camp" set up by the
men you can see wattle and daub,  cob,  thatched type roofs, all  from
the  English methods.

 I have recommended this to people about  basic W&D  building
Movie quote-

"The finest American movie of the year—the finest, indeed, of many a
year—is Terrence Malick's fourth feature, The New World. It takes
America's first mythic story—the encounter between Jamestown pioneer
Captain John Smith (Colin Farrell) and the Indian maiden Pocahontas
(an astonishing performance by 14-year-old newcomer Q'Orianka Kilcher)
in 1607—and renders it both ancient and modern. ."

 a few other movies  like   Kingdom of Heaven  show  amazing earthen
and middle eastern adobe and  domes, plus lots of trebouchet action (
that flinger of burning stones)
