| Nov 15, 2018 at 20:28 | comment | added | Kerry L | Not an answer, but hoping this might lead to one: found this book and this paper (behind a paywall at Cambridge, so I don't know if it addresses this from your perspective or not). I also found this paper at Univ Milwaukee-Wisconsin ... (cont'd) | |

Thus the adoption of non-round houses is a sign of an economy of surpluses, though the long house is easier to build for a truly long house, due to the difficulty in setting up the roof to cover a very large area. | |

changed 'in' in title to 'throughout' which I think gets across the continuum of change I'm looking for better

We haven't yet reached the 1000th century - time travel is out of scope. <grin>
