Yes, the mud houses in Mesopotamia did have roofs. The roofs were made from various materials depending on the period and location. Some of the materials used include: Reeds: Some roofs were made from reeds, sometimes with mud covering them. Planks of Palm Tree Wood: Roofs could also be made planks of palm tree wood which would be covered in reeds. The top of the roof would be connected to the house through brick. Thick Layers of Earth: In Assyria, the flat roofs were thick layers of earth on top of strong beams. This made the houses nearly or actually fireproof, and places of security. Itβs also worth noting that these roofs were often flat, and people would sometimes cook and eat on the roof of the house during good weather. This got everyone up away from the streets, yet still out into the open air.
The Powhatan tribes called their dwellings yeahawkan or yohacan. These were longhouses with flat sides and ends but curved roofs, entirely covered with sheets of bark. Larger versions, used as meeting houses or for chiefs such as Powhatan himself were called machacammac.
The Chemehuevi (really the Nuwu) tribe is part of the Southern Paiute, inhabiting the Mojave desert. Shelters today called wickiups were constructed of brushwood; larger ceremonial houses had flat brushwood roofs supported on notched posts; In addition, a very large type of flat house was built to hold the goods brought to a Cry to be burned or given away - a Cry was an elaborate mourning ritual for the dead.
