Sul Sul everyone! Could you tell me what these houses are called in English? I would like to share them in the gallery and therefore I need the right name. Or simply: How would you name this lot? In German this type of building is called "Pfahlhäuser" or "Pfahlbauten" (from the stone age).
Edit: Somehow I can't post pictures here anymore... anyone know why? :(

Thank you all for your suggestions so far! <3 I first went with "Stilt Houses", but wasn't sure if that's the common name. I'm building this for my Stone Age Save, so I’d like people to be able to find it easily in the gallery when they search something for the history challenge for example. ;)
And yeah, I probably should have mentioned that the lot is build in "Stone Age style" (I play without CC so it looks modern at first sight – sorry for that o:) ).

Thanks for your answer. That could be of course, although many users already insert pictures in the first post... :/ Actually I have inserted the correct code, I often post pics in the "post the last screenshot - thread". Let my try anotherone here:
We have a lot of made-up words where I grew up, so I always have to check that.... like, we called drinking fountains "bubblers"...and then when I lived somewhere else people laughed at me for calling them that.
Now we know where you are from @Stormkeep !
(It would be quite typical Midwestern behavior to say that your own region's way of speaking is "made-up", instead of defending it to the heavens)

I just googled, and it's a real word for them. :lol: We have a lot of made-up words where I grew up, so I always have to check that.... like, we called drinking fountains "bubblers"...and then when I lived somewhere else people laughed at me for calling them that.

I've always called them bubblers as well. Except when in navy, where the term is scuttlebut. I'm in MA.
Maybe the Wisconsin folks originally came from the northeast. I read somewhere ages ago that speech patterns migrated west as the country expanded. Other than Maine's 'Down East', which stayed where it was. Wouldn't explain bubbler, though.

Well recognized @Gagea Actually those have inspired me to build this! <3
Once again, thank you all for your name suggestions! You helped me a lot! I have chosen Stilt Village because it is actually supposed to represent a small stilt village on water. :) I used some other of your great suggestions as hashtags for the gallery.
Now I'll show you a few more pics of the finished work. I hope you like it. :D Remember, this is build for the Stone Age and I don’t use any CC. ;)
