He adds that they've found 29 complete food vessels and pots, ranging in size from two feet high to two inches. "It's almost like someone has gone to the department store and ordered the full set for their house," Gibson says.
It's the "best-preserved Bronze Age dwellings ever found in Britain," preservation group Historic England says in a statement.
Historic England and the Forterra Quarry are funding this $1,588,000 project over four years.
"Normally, when we do archaeology, we see the decay of a settlement, we see it going out of use, and we see the slow back-fill over time of the ditches and the pits. We don't see a snapshot. So this is almost like, you get the opportunity to peek through the curtains, and see people actually in their daily moment," archaeologist Selina Davenport told the BBC.
Archaeologists are still excavating the site. They say the findings will eventually be displayed at nearby museums.

剑桥考古队的大卫·吉普森在NPR All Things Considered节目访谈中指出:“值得一提的是,此次出土的不是伟人的古墓,而是平民的住所。”
