They found remains of houses that three millennia ago have been destroyed by fire. The enclosures were built on stilts above a river. The remains after the fire fallen into the water and preserved in the mud of the river.

That's what scientists at Cambridge University announced Tuesday. In the affected area are also utensils found: textile remnants, wooden keys, glass beads that belonged to a chain and vessels which have been found the remains of food.
