Bronze Age Boats at Flag Fen

Bronze Age Boats at Flag Fen
Bronze Age Boats at Flag Fen have been carbon dated and show that they are 150 older than preciously thought.
The boats are in remarkably good condition, and are being kept damp in order to stop them from rotting.
They were preserved in the mud of the Fens for over 3,500 years. The mud is oxygen deprived and therefore no microbial action takes place.

Flag Fen Bronze Age boats older than was first thought
Flag Fen Bronze Age boats older than was first thought
Flag Fen Bronze Age boats older than was first thought
Eight Bronze Age boats discovered in a deep Cambridgeshire quarry are much older than it was first thought, carbon-dating research has revealed.
The vessels, found by archaeologists at Must Farm near Peterborough in 2011, have now been dated to about 1500 BC, 200 years older than was first thought.
Samples taken during the conservation process have revealed the boats to be made from oak, lime and field maple.
The vessels are undergoing a two-year preservation programme at Flag Fen.
The wooden craft are being sprayed with a special wax to stop the timbers from degrading, the same technique that was applied to the 16th Century Mary Rose war
