I've read the analysis and interpretation of the wonderful pots of grain found intact at the Bronze Age site of #MustFarm. One of the possibilities suggested is "a brewer's mash". I wonder, is this an interrupted (by fire) ale/beer brew? (Other ideas include the usual porridge, stew, gruel etc.) 🏺🤔

Thanks for this! I'm just re-reading Francis Pryor's book on wetland archaeology in the Fens, the one in which he retraces his path from Must Farm towards Flag Fen. Must get along to the Rose Ferraby exhibition next week. Sounds glorious.

I really really want to build a pile dwelling @butserancientfarm.co.uk inspired by my recent visit to Museo delle Palafitte del Lago di Ledro, Italy and thinking about all the wonderful evidence from #MustFarm … 🤔🤔

... and of course #mustfarm another illustration of the far-reaching impact of the archaeology of the #flagfenbasin

Oh this looks glorious. A little pricey, but not university textbook pricey and the production justifies the cost. Plus, unexpected Lego Must Farm. #mustfarm #flagfen #bronzeage #piledwelling

Our finds specialist Hannah was inspired by... the Must Farm team.

'I have been inspired to be the archaeologist that I am today by all the incredible women I worked with on Must Farm (the Timber Platform site 2015-16).

I was fortunate to be invited to see the #MustFarm excavations at Whittlesey.

A collection of Bronze Age huts, destroyed by fire, but saved by the water and silt they fell into.

A once in a lifetime experience 🥰

Bronze age objects from ‘Pompeii of the Fens’ to go on display Settlement on stilts dropped into River Nene after a fire nearly 3,000 years ago and was preserved in silt

"Analysis of preserved food remains showed the settlement’s inhabitants were eating meat stews, dumplings and bread, chops of pork and lamb, and – possibly – honey-basted venison. Personal items recovered included decorated textiles and exotic glass beads."
