Amazing stuff! Fascinating! Our very remote ancestors lived in style! 😊
"Must Farm is one of the most interesting archaeological sites in Europe. Located in the Cambridgeshire Fens of Eastern England, it’s one of the most unique and remarkably well-preserved Bronze Age settlements ever uncovered. Often referred to as the “British Pompeii,” this site provides an unprecedented glimpse into domestic life approximately 3,000 years ago, during the late Bronze Age (about 1000-800 BC). ...
The archaeologists excavating the site have now uncovered four large wooden roundhouses and a square entranceway structure. All of them were built on stilts to protect them from the marshland and the slow-moving river. They would have been around two meters above the ground and were also surrounded by a tall, two-meter fence. ...

Must Farm was destroyed by a massive fire but now, it offers researchers a glimpse into what life was really like back then. ...
“I would say the most striking finding from Must Farm is that it is a site that gives us an incredible insight into the everyday life of its inhabitants during the Late Bronze Age,” ...

“The site’s destruction in a fire captured a moment in time, that lets us know what the contents of a home would have consisted of c.850BC. Each house had axes of different types, sickles, gouges, pots (complete with their contents), wooden objects and much more and we know the general quantities of each. This allows us to glimpse what their lives would have been like, something that is rare to be able to do for this period in prehistory.” ..."
"Full findings from the Must Farm site – excavated by the Cambridge Archaeological Unit (CAU) in 2015-16 after its discovery on the edge of Whittlesey near Peterborough – are published in two reports ...
One of the main roundhouses, with almost fifty square metres of floor space, appeared to have distinct activity zones comparable to rooms in a modern home. ..."
