Ancient English villagers who lived on platforms about six feet above a river enjoyed the high life, according to two new reports published by the University of Cambridge.
The reports on “Must Farm,” which was excavated 2015-16 by the Cambridge Archaeological Unit (CAU), creates a nearly cinematic image of household comfort there in the Late Bronze Age. Capturing the scope, scale, shape, and size of the settlement, it includes close-ups of hundreds of objects used in daily life.
“Conducting research on Must Farm is a bit like getting an estate agent’s tour of a Bronze Age stilt house,” David Gibson, report co-author and Archaeological Manager at CAU, said in a press release.
