The English and the Celts - no genocide?

[authun]

But even so, if you take the end of occupation layers of some eastern towns as proof that these places were overwhelmed by a wave of Anglo-saxon settlers, I say you cannot claim that cities that do continue are 'islands' that were bypassed.

Hi Vortigern,

Germanic settlers of the 5th and 6th cents. had little interest in towns. They are only of use where there is production, markets and an economic system. They do make sense in the west where there is continued trade with the roman world.
