    Yorkshire Museum Retweeted Yorkshire Museum

    Regarding the negative comments about this blog on Facebook: Let’s be clear, Roman Britain & Roman York, were diverse places with people from all over the empire mixing together. ‘Romans’ were not all white, male soldiers. Anyone who suggests otherwise is factually incorrect.https://twitter.com/YorkshireMuseum/status/1319274811571326979 …

    As part of #BlackHistoryMonth we are celebrating the life of the 'Ivory Bangle Lady', an important woman with North African ancestry who lived and died in York more than 1,600 years ago. In our new blog we help to tell her story. Read it here > https://www.yorkmuseumstrust.org.uk/blog/celebrating-ivory-bangle-lady/ … pic.twitter.com/e2lB4tdnnk

        The interpretation of ‘Ivory Bangle Lady’ – as is detailed in our blog – is underpinned by brilliant, inter-disciplinary research by the University of Reading published in 2010. The ancestry assessment made suggests a mixture of ‘black’ and ‘white’ ancestral traits, and (2/6)

        the isotope signature indicates that she may have come from somewhere slightly warmer than the UK. Taken together with the evidence of an unusual burial rite & grave goods, the evidence points to the fact she was a high-status young woman who was of North African descent. (3/6)

        This research did not just consider her burial, but a variety from across Roman York, giving us a truly diverse picture of the city at this time. We know that we can, and need to, do more when it comes to decolonising our collections. (4/6)

        The criticisms and comments associated with this blog highlight the importance and urgency of that work. The Ivory Bangle Lady will remain front and centre of our interpretation of Roman York, as we seek to give a true account of the history of our city and region. (5/6)

        Oh my goodness! May I suggest critics draft their opinion into a paper and submit it for peer review somewhere and stay off of Twitter, where it’s supposed to be fun too? Please carry on Yorkshire Museum, I enjoy the levity😁

        Well said. @wmarybeard was dragged into a nasty Twitter fight over this sort of thing. The Romans were militaristic, often misogynistic and frequently brutal. They did not care about skin colour.

        Thank you so much for standing up for facts in the face of prejudice. I hope you're all ok after having to deal with the racists.
