For those of you who have forgotten or do not know MUST FARM was a project where archaeologists from the Cambridge Archaeological Unit excavated the remains of a Late Bronze Age (950BC) pile-dwelling settlement, consisting of houses built on stilts above a river and surrounded by a palisade of sharpened posts. The settlement was destroyed in a catastrophic fire only 9-12 months after it was constructed and the preservation of a wide range artefacts from everyday Bronze-Age life is truly astounding.
The lecture was excellent with a brilliant slide show and well prepared and given talk by Dr Chris Wakefield detailing the work they carried out at the site. As it was over a river when it caught fire the structures dropped into the river and were then covered in silt so excluding the air and preserving them.
If you missed the lecture, it has been recorded and will soon be available to members, contact Denise for access.
