    This week we have 3 archaeology news stories. First, a bronze age site known as Must Farm has been called Britain’s Pompeii, and we look at why it has been given that name. Then, a fragmented ivory Pyx was found hidden in a Christian church. And finally, new dietary analysis of a Danish Bog body tells a story of neolithic immigration between very different communities.
