This isn’t what I’m writing about this week, but it’s worth noting:
Must Farm Bronze Age settlement
Wikipedia“Part of a Bronze Age settlement was uncovered at Must Farm quarry, at Whittlesey, near Peterborough, in Cambridgeshire, England. The site has been described as ‘Britain’s Pompeii’ due to its relatively good condition, including the ‘best-preserved Bronze Age dwellings ever found’ there, which all appear to have been abandoned suddenly following a catastrophic fire. Research now suggests that the site was less than one year old at the time of destruction….”

Now I’d better get back to work on this week’s post.
