"He must've spent a weekend in Langport" say archaelogists.
21st century computer analysis of 'Cheddar Man', the 10,000 year-old skeleton found in caves at the gorge in the early 1900s, has revealed he'd recently spent a weekend in Langport.
"We think he must've got the number 668 bus to Yeovil before picking up the 54 and getting off at the town hall the Saturday before he died" said Professor Marcus Braithwaite at the Natural History Museum.
"He had microscopic traces of Chubbies chips and out-of-date pork scratchings from a Huish pub in his stomach" he explained.
Scientists also found an over-priced dagger lying by the skeleton's side marked 'Travis Perkins'
- and historian David Epstein says they've uncovered "exciting" new evidence about where he lived.
"We think when he was about 20, he considered moving to Langport. He changed his mind though when the address he was looking at had 94 homes built around it by property developer Persimmon Caves"
But the new DNA research has ruled out any connection between the ancient Briton and 'Langport Man'....pictured above and found mumbling to himself on Cocklemoor last Thursday night.
"Two completely different species" said Professor Braithwaite, "Cheddar man was far more advanced"
