In any case, evidence of N African migrants in post-Roman Wales suggests Byzantine trade w/ W Britain even more signif than usually thought!
For those interested, the paper on early medieval migration between Wales & the Mediterranean is available here :) http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S030544031300023X …

@caitlinrgreen I smell Phoenicians and btw isnt it so that many of the AS migrant could have been from north Netherlands=nodiff
@voltairelove Prob Byzantine folk from same areas, perhaps :) And yes, agreed, just interesting! Tho' note recent work on Berinsfield, Oxon>
@voltairelove > AS cemetery, where researchers concluded combined oxygen+strontium data suggests only c.5% of ppl were non-local...!
My hobby is telling "white" racists that they are part "black". I'll remember this one. @caitlinrgreen
@Aknorals I can see it'd be useful for that! :)
@caitlinrgreen I try to only use my trolling powers for good, after all! =D
@Aknorals Hah! Glad to hear it! :D
@caitlinrgreen Could that be cos... There were very few actual AS migrants?
@Bluebookballoon could be...! ;-)
