I'm ending the week with a new 'investigation' into the case of Dr Thomas Neill Cream, who fatally poisoned four women in London in 1891-2, for the next book in my new series, The Historical Murder Files. I've started with the original Scotland Yard police reports and the Old Bailey trial.

It’s a golden hour in the forest kind of Friday evening

"English" is a nationality and a language. It is not a race. Here's a very readable and entertaining book which explains it all. Trigger warning: contains some actual history.

📣 I'd like to start a project on #Emotions in the #HistoryofArchaeology I think of archaeology as a practice, as a discipline and as a voluntary or involuntary experience. How do we feel as archaeologists, to read about it, watch it on TV or see objects in a museum or be forced to excavate? 🧵

A truly great, accessible and fun book from @astroroyalscot.bsky.social - if you have ever wonder if we live in a simulation and want to learn about a lot science, this is the book for you!

Happy Birthday to Dr. Gavin Hughes, Archaeologist, Author, and Historian! Whether he's delving into Irish & military history, uncovering secrets of the Celtic war horn, or "tramping about damp battlefields & graveyards" for his next discovery, Gavin always brings the past vividly to life.

This is huge. The British Museum was created in 1753 as the world's first national museum, open to all and free. Other countries copied, but most now charge. Universal accessibility is fundamental to the DNA of Britain's public museums. A super decision! www.gov.uk/government/n...
