There are two stages to wattle
and daub construction. The first is the creation of wattles, interwoven branches, lathes, or rods that form a tight lattice. The wattle
can be used to lay the groundwork for walls both inside
and outside a home, or to fill in gaps between walls and ceiling timbers. Once the wattle
is made, it can be covered in daub, a plaster-like mixture of clays, mud, plant fibers, and animal dung. After the daub sets, many people whitewash the resulting wall to make it more weather resistant and to brighten it.
according to wisegeek
A wattle and daub house is a house made from wattle, woven twigs, and daub, a mixture made mostly of mud. The house is framed with timbers, the wattle is put in the open areas between the frames, and the daub is applied like plaster. There is link below to a picture of a wattle and daub wall under repair, showing the structure.

Wattle and daub structures were commonly inhabited by medieval people in Europe, as well as by various indigenous cultures around the world. These structures are made of woven sticks (wattle) covered in a mixture of mud and straw (daub), providing simple yet effective shelter against the elements. They were a popular choice for many different societies due to their accessibility and ease of construction.
The home was called "Asi" (Wattle / Daub houses).
Wattle and daub construction techniques have been used for thousands of years and are still used in some regions today. The decline in popularity of wattle and daub huts began with the introduction of more modern building materials and construction methods, especially during the Industrial Revolution in the 18th and 19th centuries. However, wattle and daub construction can still be found in traditional and historical settings.
Wattle and daub structures involved the "wattling", or weaving, of branches and twigs to make a frame for a wall. Daub was a mixture of mud, straw and/or animal fat which was then applied, or "daubed" onto the walls, into the gaps, to seal the wall against the elements. Wattle and daub structures were common from medieval times through to American colonial and Australian colonial times.
