Mammoth bone huts! I seem to remember a mammoth-bone longhouse in Jean Aul’s Clan of the Cave Bear series, probably in book 3, The Mammoth Hunters. I have mixed feelings about that series, but figure it’s worth mentioning. Again, pro fic. Should have trigger warnings, IMAO. Further details available upon request.
oh, I Know about Clan of the Cave Bear. See, as an Ice Age Megafauna-obsessed very young child, I found the first book in the library, and I brought it to my mother. “Look, mother,” I lisped sweetly, innocently, in my sweet high child’s voice (I’m setting a mood here okay) “it’s about cave men, there are mammoths in it!” “Uh,” she said, “I think that one has, like, sex stuff in it, I dunno if you should read it.” “Oh,” I said, disappointed. “But I can read long books!”
And for some reason, my mother looked at my sweet little innocent baby face, and looked at the book, and said, “All right, you can get it out, it’s probably fine.”
It was not fine! It was not fine! But I read it anyway! Oh my I read it anyway. Oh, I should definitely not have read it anyway.
“Was it okay?” Mom asked, later.
“It was fine!” I said, shoving it violently into the to-return pile, “totally fine! not at all not fine!” and whether she believed me or no, no more was ever said on that topic.
(There was actually a post going around on here not all that long ago where an astonishingly large number of people recounted astonishingly similar experiences to mine, so, lolllll all you people who think Reylo is single-handedly going to Destroy Today’s Youth, you have literally no concept of what has come before.)
