Ancient Discoveries

I was reading about some spooky European archaeological discoveries, some involving torture and death and came across this one from msnbc.com


Ball and chain tied to gruesome tale

Museum of London:

A 17th century iron ball and chain pulled from thick, black mud on the banks of the River Thames in London may have a gruesome tale to tell, according to scientists. The 18-pound shackles were found with the lock fastened and no key, suggesting the prisoner either slipped out of custody or drowned while attempting to escape. Kate Sumnall, an archaeologist with the Museum of London, shown here, told reporters the iron is of high quality and was unlikely discarded on purpose.

(and it didn't even have the words "Yuma Prison" on it)
