@caitlinrgreen Caitlin - thanks so much for sharing this.
@caitlinrgreen @GrayGray83 No dates. But 8th-9thC?Also how certain can one be of this woman's African origin just from cranial measurement?
@caitlinrgreen @GrayGray83 Thank you. First Palestine Crusade mid-late 11thC, so, as someone else here noted, a possible place of origin?
@caitlinrgreen @irrpfad (Happy NY, by the way). Æthelmær (Bishop) lost see to a papal legate 1070 - might she have come with the latter?
@GrayGray83 @irrpfad If I recall correctly, dating of grave is to early 11thC, so prob not, I fear! Also, not only such grave in Norfolk :)
@GrayGray83 @irrpfad and, yes, Happy New Year to you too!
