Today in our archaeology lecture, we're examining the discovery of a Bronze Age settlement in northern Europe. The site was first identified through aerial photography, which revealed crop marks. Excavations have uncovered circular wooden structures, likely used for storage, and a central hearth area. Interestingly, pottery fragments found at the site contain traces of fish oil, suggesting the inhabitants traded with coastal communities. Radiocarbon dating places the main occupation around 1200 BC, though some later artifacts suggest sporadic use until 900 BC. The team leader, Dr. Evans, emphasizes that the settlement's location near a river was key for transport and defense.
