Lost road, ran from Louth past huge (1200?) Anglo-Saxon cremation cem, visible on Google Maps https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@53.3744059,-0.0218943,949m/data=!3m1!1e3 …pic.twitter.com/VOpsypXUhw

@caitlinrgreen @LoveArchaeology I'm not an academic and I'm finding it hard to understand the significance of the map/s.what do they prove?
@snowglen @LoveArchaeology Well, might support idea that Anglian settlement influenced by Roman provincial arrangements, to some degree :)
@caitlinrgreen @LoveArchaeology what,as in saxons basing their dwelling style and village layout on the roman model?
@snowglen No, talking overall pattern/distribution of early Anglian activity here, not about individual settlements :)
@caitlinrgreen is there a suggestion here that the new settlers were closely associated with the romans or was this long after they left?
@snowglen I think suggestion would be association with former Romano-Britons who were in control of Britain after nominal end of Roman rule.
@caitlinrgreen interesting..invited into their community perhaps ..for what though..protection or trading posts..or other?
@snowglen The near-contemporary writer Gildas (c.540?) says for protection, some other evidence might support, I've argued anyway! :)
@caitlinrgreen @CuratorLucy in terms of cemeteries whereas material culture is predominantly found as stray finds metal detecting vs digs
@acls1906 @CuratorLucy Don't think so on the national scale---seems to be genuine restriction of Anglian cremation-predominant cems to this>
@acls1906 @CuratorLucy > Midland/East Anglian region, whereas south and north lots of finds+digs but no evidence for similar huge crem cems.
@caitlinrgreen @CuratorLucy interesting. It would be good to read more on the theory of possible?
@acls1906 @CuratorLucy Refs at fn2 on http://www.caitlingreen.org/2014/10/post-roman-provinces-landscape.html … are main published discussions. I have more detailed paper in prep too, tho' :)
@caitlinrgreen @CuratorLucy very interesting map & theory. Could the map alternatively show areas of archaeological destruction/preservation
