    In Stilton, a Roman cheese press is discovered - part of a clutch of fine Roman objects found in the side of a ditch. As if digging down through several metres of Fenland bog to open up the ditch were not enough, Tony and the team realise they are in the middle of a rich archaeological landscape and soon make a shocking and unexpected discovery. In amongst the finds are the skeletal remains of a mother and child.

      Growing up in rural Vermont, our neighbors were elderly people, a brother and sister born before 1900. Their mother was an English country girl. Those people had uncountable jars for Stilton cheese, as they never threw anything out. Their mother must have brought the love of Stilton with her.

    So normally when I start watching these I like to have a basic understanding of the subject matter..80% of the time I already have the basic prerequisite knowledge to give me a pretty good understanding of the history they're trying to dig up. In this case I found myself thinking about the history of cheese.. very interesting. There's a story about a nomad traveling with milk in a bag made from a sheep's or cow's stomach during a warm day. The heat combined with the motion of traveling combined with the bacteria present in the stomach accidentally created the first known account of cheese... its stated the story is likely fiction but still interesting and entertaining.

      Many Scots, Irish and some Welsh, however, do not like the publicity given to England

    I love this episode! What I don’t understand (generally speaking) is where the soil covering the Roman and Anglo-Saxon layers came from. In this instance there is suggestion of an accredited layers of alluvial or marsh sediments.

    If it hasn't happened yet the beautiful artwork needs to be published as a book.
