Just in

They keep on coming

Apart from taking the opportunity to wish readers of the Rust all the very best for the festive season and indeed 2020, my purpose today is – in keeping with my ‘brief’ as a columnist – to provide them with links to three media stories of potential historical/archaeological interest that I spotted recently:

A fascinating report by Esther Addley that appears in The Guardian upon one of the British Museum’s most famous (infamous) belongings – ELGIN MARBLE CASTS

A piece by Jonathan Chadwick for the Daily Mail upon an extraordinary find off the coast of Greece – ROMAN ERA WRECK

A report by Katie Weston, also for the Daily Mail, upon the work already done – and still being done – upon one of Britain’s warships that sank over two and a half centuries ago – HMS INVINCIBLE
