Perhaps unsurprisingly, the Dutch auger was 'made' for the #FlagFenBasin - the largely soft, cohesive sediments of #Fenland made characterising the deposit sequence relatively straightforward and most of the auger holes located remnants of an old land surface buried beneath the silts and peat.

Stakes from the second alignment at the latest excavation at Must Farm showed that they were simple and functional. Some stakes were with a single chop to create the sharpened tip before they were inserted into the ground. Only a few showed evidence of more working with multi-faceted points.

At Must Farm we also discovered a second stake alignment! These stakes are positioned around the edge of a what would have been a wet hollow and seem to have been managing access.

Early Bronze Age 'stakes on a plain!'

We discovered the remnants of a stake alignment close to the buried soil at Must Farm. These rows of stakes have been found in other areas of the site and probably date to the early Bronze Age.

There's hell of a lot of Beaker pottery in and around the Flag Fen Basin - mostly in pits but also in midden spreads and the buried soil. This material was deposited before the basin became wet and before the onset of conditions conducive to peat formation. #FlagFenBasin #Fenland #OldLandSurface
