Also in this cem=multiple ppl w/ African ancestry + 45% w/ isotope results=childhood in Africa or further afield, cfhttps://twitter.com/caitlinrgreen/status/734829125404364800 …

Incidentally, I would say this seems slightly hyper-sceptical to me... No, doesn't have DNA, but neither did this:https://twitter.com/caitlinrgreen/status/744286383771127808 …

Used related methodologies & part of well-respected recent 'Diaspora Communities in Roman Britain' project:https://twitter.com/caitlinrgreen/status/736605178502238208 …
Dr Caitlin Green added,
Similarly, Forbes piece says assigning ancestry on basis of only 2 or less traits is dubious... However, study is v clear on this and... >
>...it isn't what they do in case of 2 probable Asian ppl in this cem! One has Asian ancestry assigned based on *15* traits, the other on 7!
In sum, the 'pinch of salt' may need a pinch of salt, so to speak ;) Study authors being slightly unfairly treated here,or so seems to me...
Brief note by me on why we should be sceptical of the Forbes 'rebuttal' of the 'Asians in Roman London' research :) http://www.caitlingreen.org/2016/09/east-asian-people-roman-london.html#fn2 …pic.twitter.com/cMWXFMUBst

Interview w/ Dr Rebecca Redfern, Museum of London, on their identification of ppl w/ Asian ancestry in Roman London:https://twitter.com/BBCWorldatOne/status/779332288681218048 …
Dr Caitlin Green added,
It wouldn't be too unusual surely Palmyra lead to the silk road and traders could have travelled far to see or find goods for exchange?
I agree :) Also via sea route: Roman & Greek traders mentioned in Vietnam/S. China area… See also East Asian person buried in Roman S.Italy…
