An illustrated guide to the archaeology of one of Britain's most important prehistoric sites, Flag Fen, written by Time Team's Francis Pryor.
Over two millennia ago, a large wooden platform was constructed over fenland waters in present-day East Anglia. From this, objects including swords, daggers, pins and quern (corn-grinding) stones were broken, placed into the dark waters and left.
Whether sat by the fire with your Kindle, on the bus with your smart phone, or studying with your laptop, the bite-sized chapters of 'Flag Fen: A Concise Archæoguide' will take you through the story of this remarkable site, and inspire further curiosity for Britain's prehistoric past.
Chapters include: The Discovery of Flag Fen; The Platform; The Finds; The Religious Ceremonies; Wood, Wheels and Status; The Sophistication of Ancient Technology; and Flag Fen and the Public.
