60 acast.com Buried Evidence https://shows.acast.com/buried-evidence en The Crime Desk Archaeology,Time Team The Crime Desk Is true crime our latest obsession, or just history's oldest guilty pleasure?


A brand-new exploration of historical true crime through the ages, exposes why we should be looking over our shoulders to the past with bestselling historian, Rebecca Rideal & Archaeologist, Professor Raksha Dave.


Together they will unpack the buried stories of crime and uncover the darkest chapters of criminal history, from victims and investigators to perpetrators and punishments.


Using archaeology as a key investigative tool, Raksha and Rebecca will uncover how a dig separates fact from folklore. Such as Otzi the Iceman - a body from 3300BCE discovered in 1991 - where the archeological examination of his bones provided a window into the last 48 hours of someone living thousands of years ago. Or the site discovery of The Salem Witch Trials, where a dig immediately dispelled the stories of gallows at the top of the hill and formal burials.


Using archaeology, history and modern forensic science, Buried Evidence reopens some of the world's oldest cold cases to separate folklore from fact.

It’s 4 days into a weeklong voyage from Southampton to New York. Most of the passengers have returned to their cabins after the evening’s dinner, music and socialising. Experienced merchant sailors Frederick Fleet and Reginald Lee man the crows nest, 29 metres above deck level. Frederick is the first to spot the dark and terrifying mass ahead of them. He immediately rings the warning bell three times and phones down to the ship’s sixth officer James Moody, warning… "Iceberg! Right Ahead!"


Within hours the ship would be at the bottom of the ocean and nearly three quarters of its passengers and crew would be dead.


Guest: bestselling author, historian and creator of the hit podcast series Titanic: Ship of Dreams, Duncan Barrett.

In 2008, excavations at St John’s College, Oxford uncovered a mass grave of thirty-five men, buried without ceremony. Nothing about the burial looked normal. These weren’t individuals laid to rest. They were dumped. Bodies overlapping, limbs twisted, no sign of burial rites. And then the injuries become clear. Deep cuts to bone. Fractured skulls and the signs of burning.


This wasn’t a disease. This wasn't a famine. This was premeditated violence. And it might just be the physical evidence of a forgotten event recorded in medieval chronicles — The St Brice’s Day Massacre of 1002.
