Francis Pryor

<p> Francis Pryor has been researching the Fens of Eastern England since 1970. During this work he has revealed and excavated a number of preserved prehistoric landscapes including a large tract of land immediately east of Peterborough. This landscape was known as Fengate, or &#39;road to the fen&#39; by the Vikings and it has produced some of the finest preserved prehistoric sites in Europe, including Flag Fen, which was first discovered by Pryor and his team in 1982.</p>
