[QUOTE]Originally posted by IronLion: [QB] Despite the half truths, one can begin to easily see the gigantic foot steps of the ancient Muurish Romans in England, Scotland and Wales.... [IMG]http://www.voice-online.co.uk/sites/default/files/imagecache/455/Romans_Revealed.jpg[/IMG] [QUOTE]Originally posted by IronLion: [qb] Dr Hella Eckardt, senior lecturer in Roman Archaeology at the University of Reading, said: “Our analysis of excavated skeletal remains of people living in Roman Britain such as the ‘Ivory Bangle Lady’ and others like her show that multicultural Britain is not just a phenomenon of more modern times.” By analysing skeletons facial features, skull measurements, the chemical signature of food and drink and burial goods, archaeologists were able to learn more about Roman times and migrants of African descent who came to Britain. The ‘Ivory Bangle Lady’ was a high status young woman of North African descent who remains were buried in Roman York (Sycamore Terrace). Dated to the second half of the 4th Century, her grave contained jet and elephant ivory bracelets, earrings, pendants, beads, a blue glass jug and a glass mirror. Dr Debbie Weekes-Bernard, who is leading the Romans Revealed outreach project, said: “The University of Reading research results showed that people came to Britain from many different parts of the Roman Empire, including North Africa. In some of the larger towns like York and Winchester, up to 20 per cent of the Roman Britain population may be classed as ‘non-local’ or ‘incomers’. “This research is really important, providing evidence to challenge the current curriculum as taught in schools and highlighting the diversity of Roman Britain.” According to the National Archives, the official archive for the UK Government, people of African descent have had a presence in Britain for the past 2,000 years. In Roman times, black troops were sent to the ‘remote and barbaric’ province of Britannia – the ancient term for Great Britain – with many settling permanently even after the Roman legions left. http://www.voice-online.co.uk/article/children%E2%80%99s-website-tells-stories-roman-britain%E2%80%99s-africans [/qb][/QUOTE] [/QB][/QUOTE]
