Ballard & Butler GlobeTrekker Update Sept 30 2023

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Must_Farm_Bronze_Age_settlement
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.[1] Research now suggests that the site was less than one year old at the time of destruction.[2][3]

Radiocarbon dating has indicated that the ages of these boats spanned a period of about 1,000 years, with the earliest examples dating to around 1750–1650 BCE.[10] Some of the boats may have been deliberately sunk.[11] They are now preserved at Flag Fen and are available to view on guided tours.[12]
