Britain's Pompeii

Available for over a year

Cambridgeshire's Must Farm quarry is being called Britain's Pompeii. Three thousand years ago a fire ripped through a village of wooden houses on stilts in the fens. The roundhouses dropped into the soft mud below and because they were cushioned and preserved by the silt, created what's been described as an "amazing time capsule" of life in bronze age Britain. Mo Bakshi spoke to Doctor Chris Wakefield, from the Cambridge Archaeological Unit, who worked on the dig. (Picture Credit: Dave Webb)
