An Introduction to the Must Farm Pile-dwelling Settlement
An Online talk organised by Peterborough Museum
Speaker: Dr Chris Wakefield, Cambridge Archaeological Unit
The Must Farm pile-dwelling settlement is one of the best-preserved Bronze Age sites ever discovered in the UK, consisting of stilted roundhouses built above a river channel that burnt down in a catastrophic fire almost 3,000 years ago. This talk provides an overview of the site and the 2015-16 excavations, detailing how archaeologists uncovered the fascinating story of a Late Bronze Age community and pieced together the history of this incredible site.
