@caitlinrgreen also - Cornish tin to trade for these luxury goods?
@littlerobbergrl Yes, def seems to be case---funny how interpretations move around, no? Theories once rejected by researchers now restored!
@caitlinrgreen I think the idea our ancestors slow homebodies still hangs on. For 100k years folk just as smart as us, and had boats :)
@littlerobbergrl Absolutely! Plus we (archaeologists) all kinda went off the idea of migration for a bit, post-WWII etc! Now, though....
@caitlinrgreen Mediterranean or black Sea/Baltic routes? Or both? Must have been an established cultural linkage (further to your point)
@HyettNeal Interesting question....! Unclear, but presence of Egyptian+Scandinavians in LBA cem on Thanet might suggest poss via W Europe?
@caitlinrgreen yes building on the "new north sea" after doggerland but on older terrestial routes
