Must Farm Bronze Age settlement, Archaeological site in Whittlesey, England
Five wooden houses stood on stilts above a river channel, protected by a perimeter fence made of substantial ash wood posts.
The settlement dated to 950 BC experienced a catastrophic fire that caused the structures to collapse into the river sediments below.
The inhabitants manufactured advanced textiles from lime tree bark and maintained trade connections extending to Iran through glass bead exchanges.
Visitors can examine artifacts from the settlement at Peterborough Museum and Art Gallery from April to September 2024, with free admission.
The waterlogged conditions preserved the largest collection of Bronze Age domestic metalwork found in Britain, including axes, sickles, and razors.
