Moreover, some cemeteries have significantly more than 1 person from Africa or of African ancestry, see further:https://twitter.com/caitlinrgreen/status/657981747154522112 …

For example, a study of Roman York's cems suggests at least 11% of ppl were of African ancestry, w/ 51% as poss max…https://twitter.com/caitlinrgreen/status/744286383771127808 …

Similar figures from other urban sites too eg. Roman London, where 24% of ppl studied were of prob African ancestry:https://twitter.com/caitlinrgreen/status/781944932550512642 …

See also recent large study of Roman Leicester, where 6% of those interred in cemetery are poss of African descent: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/38172433 …

Worth noting, incidentally, that men, women and children all feature, and examples not just from urban burials, e.g.https://twitter.com/caitlinrgreen/status/735761635806060544 …
Dr Caitlin Green added,
Likewise, evidence indicates not just 1st gen migrants but also 2nd gen who grew up in Britain etc & presence of people of 'mixed' ancestry…
So why are indigenous Welsh not olive skinned like Spanish or Greeks? If interaction was significant where are the genes they left behind?
Modern DNA evidence is horribly difficult to use historically, I fear; lots of methodological issues & factors over intervening 1500+ yrs >
> mean can't project back like that in a simple manner, cf. my occasional tweets on disconnect between modern DNA proportions >
> in England & likely size of Anglo-Saxon immigration etc :)
