Settlement on stilts dropped into River Nene after a fire nearly 3,000 years ago and was preserved in silt

Must Farm, nicknamed the Pompeii of the Fens, offers “exceptional clarity” because of a combination of charring and waterlogging, said Mark Knight, of Cambridge University’s archaeological unit.
