@caitlinrgreen Resuming link with new alias. No mention of tin trade in Bronze Age or Visigoths who'd be implicated in "period c. 475–550"?
@Dai_James1942 Tin trade def credible; goth in Gloucester at end of Roman period, but via E Europe; trade prob direct & via Byzantine ships?
@caitlinrgreen Point taken. I had not considered the Byzantines.
@Dai_James1942 Campbell's analysis of the traded 'package' of goods in 5th-6thC suggests direct imperial trading most likely scenario :)
@caitlinrgreen Would you assume these N.Africans are Phoenicians? Seafaring people were probably buried at place of death- how take em home?
@mueller_andi possibly for some periods, but def not around at time of Monkton; interesting to note two of the ppl were prob from Nile area!
@caitlinrgreen regarding PRSW trade: mid 6th AD N.Africa remembers me of the Vandals. Britains back then were Arians as well, weren't they?
