@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 that's interesting because I've long felt that they may have come here on invitation for that very reason.thanks Dr Caitlin.
@snowglen no problem, glad to help :)
