 Daub   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
It is common to refer to all pieces of baked clay as "daub" but this term should be used only for baked clay that was used as daub in the "wattle and daub" method of house construction.
In this wattle and daub method of construction the walls of the structure were formed of wood, sticks, vines, or various materials which provided the framework.
Daub, consequently, should show the impressions of the wattle in order to be certain that it was used for this purpose.
