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.

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.

Must Farm often produces interesting stratigraphy and some great colours! These colourful layers belong to the deposits in the floodplain of the prehistoric River Nene.

When people lived on the wetlands - the Late Bronze Age pile dwellers of Fenland #Fenland #Archaeology #Prehistory #MustFarm
We’re excited to share new free KS2 resources for teachers. Covering Must Farm and the Bronze Age, the resources include videos, reconstruction illustrations, presentations and more! We’re hoping they’ll help teachers bring the Bronze Age to life historicengland.org.uk/education/sc...

We are excited to announce the launch of Fen to Fire, a living reconstruction of the Late Bronze Age Must Farm pile-dwelling settlement that we’ve worked to create with digital artist Guy Schofield and pupils from Cromwell Community College in Chatteris.

I've read the analysis and interpretation of the wonderful pots of grain found intact at the Bronze Age site of #MustFarm. One of the possibilities suggested is "a brewer's mash". I wonder, is this an interrupted (by fire) ale/beer brew? (Other ideas include the usual porridge, stew, gruel etc.) 🏺🤔

Like Bronze Age fabric? @MustFarm has so much that audience members in tonight's talk for @TheVikingsUK were audibly sighing longingly.

I really really want to build a pile dwelling @butserancientfarm.co.uk inspired by my recent visit to Museo delle Palafitte del Lago di Ledro, Italy and thinking about all the wonderful evidence from #MustFarm … 🤔🤔

Oh this looks glorious. A little pricey, but not university textbook pricey and the production justifies the cost. Plus, unexpected Lego Must Farm. #mustfarm #flagfen #bronzeage #piledwelling
