500-Year-Old Body of Man Wearing Thigh-High Boots Found in London Sewer Construction
During the construction of London’s massive “super sewer,” archaeologists discovered something unusual in the mud: a 500-year-old skeleton of a man still wearing his thigh-high leather boots.
The Museum of London Archaeology (MOLA) announced this week that the skeleton was unearthed on the shores of the Thames, near a bend in the river downstream from the Tower of London.
“By studying the boots, we’ve been able to gain a fascinating glimpse into the daily life of a man who lived as many as 500 years ago,” said Beth Richardson, a finds specialist who analyzes artifacts at MOLA Headland, a consortium of archaeologists. “They have helped us to better understand how he may have made his living in hazardous and difficult conditions, but also how he may have died. It has been a privilege to be able to study something so rare and so personal.” Read more.

This is Alice Mpofu-Coles, a 53-year-old activist a PhD research student at the University of Reading who also volunteers with refugees.
She told BuzzFeed News that the book is made up from extracts of a journal she wrote during her struggle with breast cancer. She’s been writing it for over 10 years.
A former Zimbabwean diplomat who came to the UK as a refugee herself in 2002, Mpofu-Coles was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2007.
She had lost her brothers, parents and first husband in a short space of time, and her daughters – Michelle, 26, and Tadiwa, 21 – were still young.
“I started writing into a journal daily about how I feel. I didn’t have many people to talk to so I just used to write talking to God,” she told BuzzFeed News.
“It is a mini bio about the struggle with breast cancer: the resilience, the support, the doctors, the lows and ups, the reflection [on] my childhood,” she said, adding that it also looks at how she coped with the deaths of her husband and family.
The book, called ‘Dear God From Your Poached Egg Breast’, also covers her time as a female civil servant and diplomat for Zimbabwe’s government, working and studying through cancer treatment and chronic pain, and contains “an infusion of African innuendos to ‘Dear God…’” she said.
