Everyday Life In A Bronze Age Village Emerges In U.K. Excavation
What did villagers in England eat for dinner 3,000 years ago? And what were they wearing?
These are the kinds of questions that archaeologists believe they can answer with a Bronze Age
-era
discovery at the Must Farm Quarry, some 80 miles north of London.
"What's special about this is, it's not the archaeology of the important people. It's not burial mounds. This is the archaeology of the home," David Gibson from the Cambridge Archaeological Unit says in an interview with All Things Considered.
The research team says say these circular Bronze Age homes were suspended on stilts above a river. When a fire started, archaeologists believe the residents fled and their dwellings sunk into the river where they were preserved by the silt, creating a unique snapshot into everyday life thousands of years ago.
And among this treasure trove are whole pots with food inside, textiles made from plant fibers, a longboat, weapons and colorful beads.
Gibson says they're sending off pots for analysis. "It might even tell us exactly what their last meal was before the fire struck," he says. And somewhat chillingly, "we know it was sudden because one of the pots with the food still had its wooden spoon stuck in it."
