"Unveiling Britain's Frozen in Time Bronze Age Village"

TL;DR Summary
The excavation of Must Farm, a Bronze Age village in eastern England, has revealed a remarkably preserved snapshot of late Bronze Age society, providing comprehensive insights into everyday life in Britain during the ninth century BC. The site, dubbed "Britain's Pompeii," features well-preserved roundhouses, wooden and textile artifacts, and evidence of domestic activities. The village was likely in use for only a year before a devastating fire destroyed it, leaving behind a wealth of artifacts that challenge previous assumptions about Bronze Age societies and their material culture.
