Nice to see some steam picking up in the field of archaeology about the term "Anglo-saxon". Not sure if Dr. Roberts knows the current discussion in medieval studies but I'm glad she's tapped in even marginally. She's also one of the coolest biologists around. #medievaltwitterhttps://twitter.com/theAliceRoberts/status/1186545929429626880 …

And y’know what, when I think about it, I’ve read lots of older scholarship that talked about how poor of a term Anglo-Saxon is. This pearl clutching shit lately reads very poorly in that light, especially given that the ppl being terrible wouldn’t bat an eye...

...at the plenty of older discussions saying we should find a different term because it doesn’t accurately reflect identity from the migration period or onward.
