Late Bronze-Age site destroyed by fire to be excavated further

As part of a four year project, archaeologists are about to start work on a nine month excavation that will provide us with extraordinary testimony to the lives of people who once prospered in Bronze Age Britain.

Flag Fen archaeology idea brings in public to dig deep

Renowned Bronze Age archaeological site Flag Fen in Cambridgeshire will host a first-of-its-kind dig that makes the public integral to the project.
The idea combines both "crowdfunding" and "crowdsourcing"; for contributions starting at £125, donors can get their hands very dirty and dig for a day.
The venture's website will also stream live video from the dig as well as host lectures and interviews with experts.
The aim is to fully explore the site before it dries out and is destroyed.
