Evidence of Ancient Cheese-Making in Archaeological Traditions

According to the NPR’s recent report (http://www.npr.org/blogs/thesalt/2012/12/13/167034734/archaeologists-find-ancient-evidence-of-cheese-making) evidence of ancient cheese-making can be found on 7000 year old clay vessels.  Using eHRAF Archaeology (http://ehrafarchaeology.yale.edu/ehrafa) you can search across archaeological traditions in Africa, Europe, the Middle East and other parts of the world for prehistoric utensils and vessels that were used for making cheese.
