FLAG FEN by Francis Pryor
Flag Fen is a prehistoric timber platform, which, with its associated long avenue of posts probably served as a religious centre. The author gives a personal account of the discovery and excavation of this unique prehistoric wetland site and discusses the particular problems of its conservation. Francis Pryor is Director of excavations at Flag Fen and is founder of the Fenland Archaeological Trust.Dr Francis Pryor has spent thirty years studying the prehistory of the Fens. He has excavated sites as diverse as Bronze Age farms, field systems and entire Iron Age villages. From 1980 he turned his attention to pre-Roman religion and has excavated barrows, 'henges' and a large site dating to 3800 B.C. In 1987, with his wife Maisie Taylor, he set up the Fenland Archaeological Trust. He appears frequently on TV's 'Time Team' and is the author of 'Seahenge', 'Britain B.C.' and 'Britain A.D.'
