[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mike111: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Brada-Anansi: [qb] Mike you know very well that the lady was from Africa directly and non native. Steve Bird Archaeologists have discovered that wealthy black Africans lived in Roman Britain in one of the country’s earliest examples of multiculturalism. Scientific research techniques have established that a lavish grave containing a woman’s skeleton, an ivory bangle, perfume bottle, mirror and jewellery, belonged to a North African member of York’s high society in the 4th century. Scientific analysis of isotopes from the teeth revealed that water she drank during her childhood had contained minerals likely to have been found in North Africa. You just throwing up her reconstruction leaves the un-suspecting that the Ivory Bangled lady was an original Brit..regardless of what an original Brit may have looked like. [/qb][/QUOTE]Brada-Anansi - I chided you in another thread about your lack of thoughtfulness. I see that you didn't take it to heart. Nonetheless I will try to explain, please pay close attention. Your confusion may stem from the conventions of dates denoted as B.C. and A.D. In B.C. dates the Bigger number is the oldest. While in A.D. dates, the Bigger number is the Newest. [b]Therefore the Wetwang Woman's dating of 300 B.C. is actually BEFORE the Roman occupation of Britain.[/b] [i]The first Romans to campaign extensively in Britain were the forces of Julius Caesar in 55 and 54 BC, but the first significant conquest did not begin until AD 43, under Claudius. The Romans established a provincial government and steadily extended their control north, but were never able to exert firm control over Caledonia. Following the conquest of the native Britons, a distinctive Romano-British culture emerged. Roman Britain was the part of the island of Great Britain controlled by the Roman Empire between AD 43 and about 410.[/i] [b]To explain further:[/b] In England, chariot burials are characteristic of, and almost confined to, the Iron Age [b]Arras culture associated with the Parisii tribe.[/b] Finds of such burials are rare, and the persons interred were presumably chieftains or other wealthy notables. The Wetwang chariot burial of ca. 300 BC is an exception in that a woman was interred with the chariot. Some 21 British sites are known, spanning approximately four centuries, virtually all in the East Riding of Yorkshire. The Ferrybridge and Newbridge chariots are unusual in Britain as they are the only ones to be buried intact.[b] The burial custom seems to have disappeared with the Roman occupation of Britain.[/b] In Europe, chariot burial was mainly an Iron Age Celtic custom. A tomb from the 4th century BC was discovered in La Gorge-Meillet (Marne, France). The only Etruscan find dates to ca. 530 BC, and is preserved in pristine quality. [/QB][/QUOTE]
