The mystery of the headless skeleton revealed by Crossrail

Of all the discoveries an archaeologist could make, this has to be one of the more gruesome. Twenty feet beneath Liverpool Street, in the heart of the City of London, excavators recently uncovered a human skeleton deprived of its head. The skull had been placed between the victim's legs.

The mysterious remains, which date from the Roman period, were dug up as part of the Crossrail project, a £15 billion scheme to establish a 26-mile rail network across the capital. And they are just one of several grim artefacts that are challenging long-held beliefs about Roman Britain, shedding light on ancient Celtic practices and terrifying Roman customs.

As well as the headless skeleton, a team from the Museum of London Archaeology (MOLA) has found several skulls in a neat row alongside a tree-lined Roman road.

The theory up to now, based on the discovery of other skulls in this quarter of the city, was that the heads had simply washed up here from an ancient cemetery. The River Walbrook, a former tributary of the Thames, once flowed through this part of London, and could have eroded the cemetery's soil, carrying bones with it. But the discovery of these latest skulls doesn't fit the erosion theory. 

"These discoveries can't all be explained by the natural environment," says the project's lead archaeologist, Jay Carver. "I think we're now looking at a mix of origins. Some of the skulls are likely to have arrived here through erosion by the river, but evidence is also mounting to support the theory that this part of London was an execution and display area."

This may account for the discovery nearby of shackles and a manacled wrist. And it is known that gladiators who fought in the nearby Roman amphitheatre (which was built in around AD120 and is now buried underneath the Guildhall) would often decapitate their opponents. The amphitheatre was also used to execute common criminals, whose heads would be displayed on poles to act as a deterrent to other would-be miscreants.

It is also possible the skulls were collected by Roman or British headhunters, who decapitated their enemies in battle and displayed the heads as trophies. There is evidence of head-taking from across the Empire - Trajan's Column in Rome has relief carvings that show the Romans decapitating their foes.

But Carver and his colleagues have yet to detect the sort of fracturing you'd expect if the skulls had been placed on spikes, and some experts have speculated that they may instead have been simply set down on the ground, raising the possibility that the skulls were part of a ritual dedication and nothing to do with punishment at all.

Celtic pagan beliefs coexisted, and even mingled, with Roman religion throughout England. According to one of the oldest Celtic beliefs, the head was a source of unique potency, almost a life force of its own, in which one's strength and wisdom were concentrated. When someone died, their head was therefore seen as a worthy offering to the gods, which could be removed and dedicated ritually. This might explain why several of the London skulls are missing jawbones. Those that survived the deceased sometimes kept fragments of bone, possibly to protect themselves from evil spirits. 

Whoever buried the Liverpool Street skeleton with its head between the knees might have hoped to prevent the spirit of the deceased from wandering the Earth.

"There is a long-standing northwest European concern with heads, and this allows it to be argued that the Walbrook skulls were part of this wider and longer-standing interest," suggests Dr Dominic Perring, principal research fellow at University College London's Institute of Archaeology.

Bronze sculptures of other body parts, including arms and hands, have previously been discovered at Springhead near Dartford, and are believed to have been pagan dedications made in the interests of restoring health.

According to Roman historians, the Celts also practised ritual human sacrifice. While Julius Caesar noted that those who lived in Gaul sacrificed humans to the gods to try to reverse sickness or ill-fortune in battle, the historian Tacitus described Druids examining human entrails in Anglesey, Wales.

Of course, the Crossrail site has not just unearthed artefacts from the Roman era. The experts from MOLA have also amassed a vast collection of bones, pottery and historical objects - many of which are the subject of a Channel 4 documentary, London's Secret Skeletons, next month - that are helping them to shed light on the history of London all the way up to the 20th century.

But it's the decapitations that may yet make the most memorable, even alarming, addition to the history books.

Dr Daisy Dunn is a classicist and art historian. London's Secret Skeletons will air on Channel 4 in June

Kremlin Puts Clegg On Travel Ban Blacklist

Former deputy prime minister Nick Clegg is among nearly 90 European figures on a secret Russian "stop list" banned from entering the country.

Other names reported to be blacklisted by the Kremlin include the former foreign secretary Sir Malcolm Rifkind, the Chief of the Defence Staff, General Sir Nicholas Houghton, Defence Minister Philip Dunne and former defence minister Andrew Robathan.
They are joined by MI5 director general Andrew Parker and the former MI6 chief Sir John Sawers on what appears to be a leaked version of the list that has appeared online.
The disclosure comes after a number of EU politicians tried to travel to the country in recent months, only to be told at the border they could not enter Russia because they were on the list.
The list was handed to the EU's ambassador by the Moscow authorities earlier this week after repeated requests.
The move has been condemned by the Foreign Office, which said there was "absolutely no justification" for it.
The measure will be widely seen as a response to EU sanctions against Russia over its support for separatist rebels fighting government forces in eastern Ukraine.
An EU spokesman said: "The list with 89 names has now been shared by the Russian authorities.
"We don't have any other information on legal basis, criteria and process of this decision.
"We consider this measure as totally arbitrary and unjustified, especially in the absence of any further clarification and transparency.
"We are keeping in close contact with the member states involved."
The Foreign Office said the existence of the list would not affect EU sanctions.
"There is absolutely no justification for this list.
"And the Russian authorities have not provided any legal basis for the list or for the names on it," a Foreign Office spokeswoman said.
"If Russia thinks this action will cause the EU to change its position on sanctions, it is wrong.
"The way for Russia to get the sanctions lifted is to remove its troops from Ukraine and comply with its obligations under the Minsk agreements.
"The EU and member states are urgently seeking more transparency from the Russian authorities for this move."
Mr Clegg has been an outspoken critic of Russia, with Lib Dem ministers snubbing last year's Winter Olympics in Sochi because of the country's anti-gay laws.
He also argued Russia should lose the right to host the 2018 World Cup following the downing of a civilian airliner in eastern Ukraine last July, with the loss of 298 lives.

Captain Dies After Being Impaled By Swordfish

A fishing boat captain has died after being gored by a swordfish in a harbour in Hawaii.

Randy Llanes, 47, spotted the 3ft-long fish in the water in Honokohau Harbor, in Kailua-Kona, and dived in with his speargun.
He shot the creature and the fish began thrashing around and speared him in the upper chest with its 3ft-long bill.
A police spokesman said the speared fish "got wrapped around a mooring anchor, came back and swam at him".
Mr Llanes, who ran chartered big game fishing trips from the marina, was pulled from the water by onlookers.
He was taken by ambulance to Kona Community Hospital, but doctors could not save him.
Hawaii's Department of Land and Natural Resources said it is investigating the incident, which happened at 11am local time on Friday.
Officials found the dead fish near yachts, and said it weighed around 40lb.
Friends paid tribute to the father-of-one, and said his death has shocked the community.
Dale Leverone told Khon 2 television station: "He was just a great local boy. A good attitude, good person, a help-anybody kind of guy.
"He had a heck of a lot of friends. It's pretty sad, pretty tragic.
"Randy has been fishing all his life. He's a pretty accomplished fisherman. He actually caught a 500lb marlin yesterday out of his skiff."
Experts said swordfish are usually found in much deeper water.

Nicole Ari Parker Short Hair Style for 2014 – Layered Short Wavy Hairstyle for Thick Hair

This interesting style has a lot of good points, but breaks one of the important rules of hair styling – don’t create a diamond shape around a long face. However, the colour technique is fabulous, mixing beautiful gold highlights and ombré, below warm brown grown-out roots on top. The lighter shades and trendy tousled twists add the illusion of width at cheekbone level, which is great to balance out a long face! Where this style goes wrong is to place the parting too high up the head, so Nicole’s already high forehead looks even higher and totally out of proportion. With more fringe covering the forehead or a lower side-parting and fringe swept across the forehead, this beautiful style would suit Nicole’s long face-shape perfectly!

Sami Gayle Short Hair Style – simple easy daily short hairstyles for women

Brittany Snow short hairstyles – chin length straight bob hairstyle with lowlights

With bright blue eyes like Brittany’s it’s a good policy to choose a simple style that keeps the focus on the face. This style combines the pale blonde that’s softer than the harsh, platinum-blonde and dark roots look, with some very subtle golden blonde lowlights. The effect adds more colour dimension to the hair and we love the unexpectedly golden roots along the side parting and at the sides! The cut is a medium bob with heavily textured ends to add an urban vibe and graduated up towards the face to emphasise the lips and Brittany’s pretty chin!
