Abstract:		 This report chronicles the discovery and subsequent investigations of one of the most impressive later Bronze Age wetland sites yet found in north-western Europe. Exceptional preservation and a unique set of finds ensured that the Must Farm site was not overshadowed by its internationally renowned neighbour, Flag Fen, and that it was able to enhance and bring a new dynamic to Peterborough's already impressive prehistoric past. The circumstances of discovery for the two sites were remarkably similar and by the same token, the site's close relationship to Flag Fen is reflected by its participating specialists, as many were involved in both investigations. Ultimately, the parallels, and the differences between, Must Farm and Flag Fen can be used to demonstrate the value of both sites and at the same time illustrate the importance of context when it comes to understanding either. Flag Fen's 'missing' evidence of occupation was present in abundance at Must Farm, so much so that there seemed to be an excess of materials. In fact, the Must Farm conflagration assemblage has no obvious parallels, which begs the question: could it represent a charred expression of what was once a truly exceptional site?
