Bronze Age wooden boats found in Peterborough

For any archaeologist, finding one Bronze Age wooden boat could be considered a once in a lifetime achievement but experts digging at a quarry near Peterborough found eight of them back in 2011.

Now the 4,000-year old boats are being preserved at the nearby Flag Fen archaeology centre, using techniques that were also used on the Tudor warship the Mary Rose. Stuart Leithes reports.
