Research continues at Flag Fen and visitors to the site get a rare glimpse of an archaeological find that has yet to yield up all of its treasures.I have two hands, but I can not scratch myself. Other gruesome finds, such as that of a dog with a stake through its body, suggest that animal sacrifices may have been performed there as well. Pryor theorizes that these were offered as sacrifices in some sort of ceremony. Many of the metal objects, including weapons, tools, and jewellery, bore no indication of ever having been used, and many seem to have been deliberately broken. As work continued at the site, Pryor recovered dozens of metal artefacts that gradually convinced him that the main concern of the builders was ritualistic. The presumed causeway connecting the timber platform to the dry land, for example, would have been below the level of the water, and even the higher central platform would have been much too damp a place for a comfortable permanent home. Perhaps, researhers thought, this was done to keep the buildings above water as the North Sea encroached on previously dry land.Īs excavation progressed, however, this explanation seemed insufficient to account for some of the unusual aspects of the site. Originally, this led Pryor to suspect that he had discovered a prehistoric village built something like a Scottish crannog-a raised wooden platform forming an artificial island in the midst of a Fenland lake and linked to the shore on opposite sides by wooden causeways. The overlying wood seems to be composed of flooring planks and collapsed walls and roofs. Many of the upright posts appear to be in the original position, with wooden pegs still holding individual pieces together. But the extensive nature of the remains have not made it easy to reconstruct the site's original appearance or purpose.
The timber at Flag Fen owes its excellent condition to the waterlogged ground in which it was set, which helped to preserve it. It is extremely rare for Bronze Age wood to have survived into the 20th century. Since the nearby Fenland landscape was not heavily wooded, most of this lumber must have been transported to the site from far off. Careful analysis of the wood has revealed that the Bronze-Age builders felled more than 2 million trees in the process of creating the immense structure. The wood covered an area of 2 full acres, amounting to an astounding 50,000 posts, with overlying planks and poles numbering in the millions. As Pryor and his team worked to uncover more of the ancient remains, they were astonished by the size of the site.
