Thursday, February 20, 2014. The Treasury of Atreus - one of the world's greatest domed structures. The tomb was given the name the Treasury of Atreus (and sometimes the Tomb of Agamemnon) by the German archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann, who had a propensity for connecting his discoveries with mythical Mycenaean figures. The structure is most definitely a tomb and not a treasury, and we do not know the identity of the people who were buried within. We have to wait for the 1. The date of the Treasury is t...

Saturday, February 21, 2015. PD James and the Mystery of the ‘Apollo’ Jacket. I was working at the British Museum in 2001 when the invasion of Afghanistan took place. Horrified by the plight of the people caught up in the conflict, I decided to hold a ‘Bring and Buy’ at the museum to raise money for the Red Cross campaign to help refugees. However, by 2001 I had decided the style was looking a bit dated (it had 90s shoulder pads) and so I donated it, amongst other items, to the Bring and Buy. 8216;She...

Tuesday, November 29, 2011. Well preserved Roman fort discovered on Channel Islands. This summer saw excavations on the island of Alderney to investigate what was traditionally believed to have been a Roman structure – with surprising results. Old postcard showing 'The Nunnery'.

Friday, August 31, 2012. More finds from the necropolis of ancient Apollonia Pontica, Bulgaria. The long and rich history of Bulgaria’s Apollonia continues to be revealed under the direction of Dimitar Nedev. Excavations in and under the ‘St. Nikolai’ monastery illustrate the continuity of occupation of the city, and are bringing to light part of the ancient necropolis. The oldest church seem to date back to the 6. Century AD, though there are other phases of construction in the 7. The town, on the south...
