      I'd say east med ethnically diverse, it's was a hotbed for everything. Britain on fringe not diverse. Just a colony. A wet one at that.😂

      Has to be said, a fair number of Roman writers had similar views on the merits of Britain. Yet people did clearly come!

          For the hunting dogs, the slaves and the tin, IIRC - was that Caesar or Agricola?

          Now there's a question! All important; tin, fwiw, a consistent motivator over time from Bronze Age forward, it would seem!

          I don't doubt they did. But as a hugely diverse place, i have huge doubts. Esp when several sites show concentration. Not all over.

          I know you've mentioned DNA analysis fraught with difficulty. Yet, the diversity correlation between graves/DNA mix?🤔 seems short🤔
