Most houses were built of brick burned or dried in the sun. Some were made of limestone and sandstone. Mortar was made from clay, lime, or gypsum, and asphalate. Beams, doorposts, doors, and windows were commonly made from the sycamore tree. Some houses were whitewashed others left plain. The roofs were mainly flat covered with tiles or stone and some with mud.
