The oldest known tombstone in America, long believed to have marked the grave of a knight, has a fascinating backstory that's finally been untangled.
The tombstone, unearthed in the Chesapeake Bay region, was believed to have been made from 'black marble', but that has now been found to not be the case.
It is in fact fine-grained black limestone, polished to look like marble - with the stone itself dating back to 1627 and coming across the Atlantic from Belgium.
