'Best-preserved Bronze Age dwellings ever found'
Archaeologists say Bronze Age homes excavated near Whittlesey are of "international importance".
The circular wooden houses, built on stilts, form part of a settlement at Must Farm quarry and date to about 1000-800 BC.
A fire destroyed the posts, causing the houses to fall into a river where silt helped preserve the contents.
The site has been described as Britain's "Pompeii" and the "best-preserved Bronze Age dwellings ever found" in the country.
