The commonly held story is that Margaret, or Marina as she is known in Greek and in the Eastern Church, lived in the reign of Diocletian in the late 3rd / early 4th century in Antioch, part of modern Turkey. Most accounts relate that her father was a pagan priest, but that she was brought to Christianity by a nursemaid. Having refused to recant her faith upon the marriage proposal of Olybrius, a Roman governor, she was tortured and put in prison, where she was devoured by satan in the form of a dragon. As she prayed and crossed herself, her crucifix either irritated his throat, or perhaps split his belly open, resulting in her release. Olybrius ordered further ordeals, through hanging by her hair, fire and drowning (upon which a martyr’s crown descended from heaven), before she was finally beheaded. Much of the story was recorded in the 13th Century book of the lives of saints, the of Jacobus de Voragine, from which the image above left is taken.

  • Whence This Severance of the Head?”: the Osteology and Archaeology of Human Decapitation in Britain
    UNIVERSITY OF WINCHESTER FACULTY OF HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES “Whence this Severance of the Head?”: The Osteology and Archaeology of Human Decapitation in Britain KATIE TUCKER Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy January 2012 UNIVERSITY OF WINCHESTER ABSTRACT FACULTY OF HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES Doctor of Philosophy “Whence this Severance of the Head?”: The Osteology and Archaeology of Human Decapitation in Britain Katie Tucker Decapitation burials (burials in which the cranium and mandible are displaced from correct anatomical position and replaced elsewhere in the grave) are a relatively common minority burial practice in Romano-British cemeteries. They have usually been ascribed to a post-mortem funerary ritual with various different motives being postulated. However, these interpretations seem to have largely been based on assumption rather than evidence from the archaeological context or the human remains, only small numbers of which have been subjected to detailed skeletal analysis. Decapitated burials are also found in the early medieval period, and, conversely, these are normally concluded to be the victims of judicial execution, an interpretation that is only very rarely used when discussing Romano-British examples. This thesis examines the archaeological and osteological data from a large sample of Romano- British decapitated burials and compares them with the wider Romano-British cemetery population, in order to better understand the differences between decapitated individuals and the rest of the population, in terms of burial practice, demographics, and ante-mortem health status. The evidence for decapitation in the Neolithic, Bronze and Iron Ages, early medieval, medieval and post-medieval periods was also examined, with the analysis of samples of decapitated individuals being undertaken where possible, in order to provide comparanda for the Romano- British examples, and assess whether there is any evidence for continuity in the practice between the periods.

    2019 Annual Report JERRY MONKMAN ECOPHOTOGRAPHY.COM (2) MARTHA SANDERS Beaver Pond Reservation Merrimac 2 JERRY MONKMAN/ECOPHOTOGRAPHY.COM Beaver Pond Reservation Merrimac LOOKING BACK AT GREENBELT’S WORK IN 2019 IS SUCH A PLEASURE. As I review the work that we did with our members, partners, volunteers and many, many supporters, I feel connected to a long time horizon, and to a natural world that is larger than our human landscape. Land conservation builds on protections accomplished in the past, with goals that stretch forward forever. The effort is continuous, but progress ebbs and flows according to cycles of family and community, and sometimes just to odd circumstance. A year like 2019, with important land conservation successes, deserves notice and celebration: that progress is permanent. 2019 was also a year of growth in Greenbelt’s core areas of engagement and land stewardship, important organizational strengths that have proven vital to Greenbelt’s resiliency. As this Annual Report highlights, we “made hay while the sun was shining” in 2019, and finished the year in a strong position to succeed well into the future. Many thanks to all of our community for helping make 2019 such a success!

    Rt Hon Boris Johnson MP Society Building Prime Minister 8 All Saints Street 10 Downing Street London London N1 9RL, UK SW1A 2AA +44 (0)20 7837 8344 bond.org.uk 5th June 2021 Dear Prime Minister, As we approach this year’s G7, we, as representatives from NGOs, academia and business, ask that the UK government steps up to its role as Chair to lead negotiations with the world’s richest economies to tackle some of the biggest global challenges we all face. This must include a sustainable economic recovery from the COVID-19 crisis in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), a significant increase in climate finance and support for the most climate vulnerable countries, action on vaccine equity including increased funding, and strengthened solidarity against threats to civic space, racial justice, gender equality, and human rights defenders. We look forward to working with the G7 and UK government to deliver ambitious outcomes for people and planet at a time of unprecedented human need. Making progress on these critical issues at the G7 will require all of the UK’s diplomatic experience. Inevitably the UK’s decision to cut its aid commitment during a pandemic casts a shadow over its ability to deliver at this year's critical G7 summit. While other G7 countries have stepped up their aid budget, the UK is the only one to have rowed back on its commitments. A G7 that shows the UK’s support for other countries will be critical to a successful COP. Without a reversal to this decision, the UK’s credibility and voice on the international stage will be undermined, and its calls to other G7 leaders to do more on critical issues such as vaccine delivery, civic space, education, gender equality, healthcare, climate change and famine prevention risk ringing hollow.
