George 'Graveyard' Walker campaigned against the "unwise & revolting custom" of overcrowded urban burial. In the late 1840s he bought Enon Chapel in London and personally funded the removal of 4 van loads of remains to Norwood cemetery #histmed #ManMedProject

A useful guide to Punjabi and Sikh Heritage Sites in the UK. I created this map ten years ago to help some Americans that were visiting. It could do with a bit of updating but if you're visiting the UK this summer it's a good start. https://t.co/sg0lmsQaAw

My review of Nadine Akkerman's INVISIBLE AGENTS about 17th-century female spies is the lead in today's @TelegraphBooks - a cracking book & a joy to review.

@BenjaminJLandon @SaveRome @pr_archeologo @RomanFindsGrp @findsorguk @FindResearchGrp @MuseoArcheoCa @TheRomanSoc @UCLarchaeology @AntiquityJ @ArcDurham We supposed it had at least another element connected on the top (see the picture for the details). It seems a kind of semi-circular slot, perfectly smoothed. the other side end in a simple way, forming a little curve.

For today #FridayFinds we need your help!
Despite our research during these days, we haven't been able to identify or to properly understand the function of this strange #bronze item.
Does any of you have ever seen an object like this? Or does someone dare to make hypothesis?
