[GSBN] Old cordwood?

Hi Chris
I'm sure I remember seeing some cordwood in Manitoba when I visited Kris Dick at the University. He might have some useful information or research?
best wishes

Hi all,
A question that's a bit off topic, since it's about that overgrown straw 
ethod of building... but does anybody know of really old cordwood 
uildings? I keep reading about these 1,000 year old cordwood buildings 
n Greece, Albania and area, but there doesn't seem to be any proof of 
heir existence, other than as a "fact" that proves how long cordwood 
an last. I'm trying to document long-standing examples of lots of 
atural building methods, and I can find 100-200 year old cordwood in 
orth America and northern Europe (which is just fine!), but I'd sure 
ove to know if these ancient ones are for real or not.
Thanks,
Chris
