Britain’s Pompeii: The Best Preserved Bronze Age Village | Digging for Britain | Unearthed History

Archaeologists excavate Must Farm in Cambridge, described as the “Pompeii of the Bronze Age,“ providing insights into prehistoric life over 3,000 years ago. ‌‌Discovered on the edge of a quarry near Peterborough in 1999, the impeccably preserved settlement appears to have been abandoned and burned down very suddenly around 900 BC. Ancient causeways and metalwork, including swords and spears, suggest a thriving industry and possible ritual offerings. We delve into the historical significance of the ’Fenwick Hoard’, believed to be associated with Boudicca’s revolt against the Romans. We also explore discoveries from an Anglo-Saxon cemetery, revealing high-status female burials and unique findings like a woman buried with a complete cow. Welcome to Unearthed History -- the home for all things archaeological! From ancient Roman ruins to buried medieval mysteries, we’ll be bringing you award-winning documentaries that explore the remnants of long lost civilizations.
