SUMMARY:Britain’s Pompeii: The Must Farm Project
DESCRIPTION:Introduction\nMust Farm is a Bronze Age archeological site consisting of five houses raised on stilts above a river and built around 950 BC in Whittlesey, Cambridgeshire.\nSpeaker\nChris Wakefield\nSince 2015 Chris has worked as the digital outreach coordinator for the Must Farm ( http://www.mustfarm.com/ ) project.  He completed an MSc in Digital Heritage ( https://www.york.ac.uk/study/postgraduate-taught/courses/msc-digital-heritage/ ) at the University of York in 2018 with a thesis focusing on digital public archaeology at Must Farm ( http://www.mustfarm.com/ ) and the value of interactive online engagement work.\nDate & Time\nJanuary 22nd 2025\n7.30 pm   Please note change of time.\nImportant: This will be a “ZOOM” presentation for members only\nFurther Information\nThis prehistoric settlement dubbed Britain’s Pompeii was occupied for less than a year before it burned down, leaving a wealth of well-preserved artefacts. The finds were unearthed at a burnt-out 3,000-year-old village at Must Farm quarry in Whittlesey, Cambridgeshire.\nArchaeologists from the Cambridge Archaeological Unit excavated the remains of the 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.\nCopyright Cambridge Archaeological Unit\n
