Earliest ppl discussed in post are Late Bronze Age, but worth noting that some Neolithic ppl may also have moved from Iberia/N. Africa >
> eg ppl buried at Monkton up Wimborne, Dorset, c. 3300 BC---often said on basis of lead isotope results to prob be from Mendips, but this >
> doesn't fit w/ oxygen+strontium, which together don't really match anywhere in Britain--oxygen esp v high, more likely Iberia/Africa...?
@caitlinrgreen Would you assume these N.Africans are Phoenicians? Seafaring people were probably buried at place of death- how take em home?
@mueller_andi On sea-faring ppl, def possible, but note evidence for families etc as mentioned in post :)
