I understand crossing the divide was more about cleansing blood relations than warfare, though todays culture would view it as raiding.

Yup, it's called chinking and using mud is common, but it is usually mixed with some sort of fiber, Like straw of sphagnum moss.

There are hundreds of old cabins in the Peace country chinked with mud/fiber mix.
I don't know about down south. I expect some remain there as well.
