Shelter

They built houses by digging holes in the wall. Shelves and dressers were built from wood and big rocks. They made pillows and quilts from animals skin. They made a fire place by piling rocks and rubbing wood together.

Boats were important and were used to get across seas. They made their boats using tree trunks and carved out the middle.

Transport

They moved heavy objects by finding large tree trunks and put them underneath so they can act like wheels.
