Must Farm is a Bronze Age archaeological site consisting of five houses raised on stilts above a river and built around 950 BC in Cambridgeshire, England.
[1] The settlement is exceptionally well preserved because of its sudden destruction by catastrophic fire and subsequent collapse onto oxygen-depleted river silts.
[4][10] Historic England funded a £1.1 million project to excavate the site to gain as much knowledge of Bronze Age life in Britain as possible.
[9] Objects recovered include pots still containing food, textiles woven from lime tree bark and other plant fibres, sections of wattle walls, and glass beads.
The find "expands our understanding of late Bronze Age technology", said Duncan Wilson, chief executive of Historic England, which was co-funding the project.
[18] In 2019 researchers at Cambridge and Bristol universities revealed the results of a study of human and dog coprolites found at the site.
