Why This Discovery Changes Everything We Know About Bronze Age Britain

History Documentaries

Must Farm is a Bronze Age archaeological site in Cambridgeshire. This prehistoric settlement consists of five stilted houses built above a river. It is remarkably well-preserved due to its sudden destruction by a catastrophic fire, which caused the structures to collapse into oxygen-deprived river silts. It is called the Pompeii of the Bronze Age and gives an unparalleled glimpse of life 3,000 years ago. In Colchester, Roman treasure was hidden as Queen Boudicca rampaged through the town. In Oakington, a dig uncovers burial rituals that reveal the secrets of Anglo-Saxon childbirth.
