When you dig in a country with as much history as Britain, sometimes you find something remarkable.
Or, in a more recent case, it might be the marble head of a woman from the Roman era that disappeared at some point in the last 250 years.
Sometimes, such a find comes with a mystery: How the heck did the woman make her way from Burghley House, a stately home near Peterborough, England, to a shallow grave 300 yards away?
“Burghley has thrown up all sorts of discoveries over the years,” Jon Culverhouse, the house’s curator, said.
“In cupboards, under stairs.”
