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 site provides a unique "blueprint" for the circular architecture, home interiors, and overall domesticity of those who inhabited the swampy fenland of East Anglia.
