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 …

...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.

Yes, it has a lot to do with the fact that it is being tied up with racism and people don't think that's important enough on its own to interrogate its usage. They (esp. literary scholars) need that vigorous academic research to back things up, although it exists in other fields.
