Must Farm Pile-Dwelling Settlement
The Late Bronze Age pile-dwelling settlement at Must Farm is one of the most important and best-preserved prehistoric sites to have been systematically excavated in Europe. The settlement comprised a curving palisade enclosing five stilt-raised houses erected above a freshwater river channel at the edge of one most Britain's most intensively studied and internationally renowned Bronze Age landscapes: the Flag Fen Basin. Built in the mid-9th Century BC, the pile-dwelling was engulfed by a catastrophic fire less than a year after construction, sending the buildings and their artifact-rich contents into the sluggish waters below. A combination of fire, water and rapid burial ensured extraordina...
Pattern and Process
The King's Dyke and Bradley Fen excavations straddled the south-eastern contours of the Flag Fen Basin. This large-scale exposure revealed a beneath-the-peat or pre-basin landscape related to the buried floodplain of an early River Nene enabling us to situate the Flag Fen Basin in time as well as space.

Prehistoric Landscape Development and Human Impact in the Upper Allen Valley, Cranborne Chase, Dorset
This volume concerns the palaeo-environmental and archaeological investigations of the upper Allen Valley of Cranborne Chase, Dorset, between 1998 and 2003, which revealed sequences of landscape development which contrast with those previously put forward for the region. A programme of valley-wide geoarchaeological survey and palynological analyses of the relict palaeo-channel system was conducted, along with sample investigations and open area excavations of a variety of prehistoric sites in the area. Among the many excellent illustrations, GIS modelling techniques have been used to interrogate and visualise some of this new data which has provided possible independent corroboration.
