"Uncovering the Cozy Domesticity of Britain's Frozen-in-Time Bronze Age Villages"

TL;DR Summary
A study on the remains of a prehistoric stilt village in England's ancient marshland, dating back almost 3,000 years, reveals the surprisingly comfortable lifestyles of its inhabitants, with domestic layouts similar to modern homes, meals of "honey-glazed venison," and clothes of fine flax linen. The settlement, known as Must Farm, was destroyed by a catastrophic fire, leading to exceptional preservation of artifacts. The site provides a unique "blueprint" for the circular architecture, home interiors, and overall domesticity of those who inhabited the swampy fenland of East Anglia.
