![Riverside homes: The illustration shows what the Must Farm [UK] settlement might have looked like during its brief habitation in the ninth century B.C., before its destruction by fire. Because of partial demolition of the site by quarrying in the 1960s, it is not known how many dwellings the palisade originally contained. Construction required a huge amount of timber, mainly oak and ash. Scholars believe that the Must Farm community was one of many and that these raised structures were an established local custom. Archaeologists believe more such sites may lie hidden under the fenland clay. Illustration by Santi Pérez.
