Isotope analysis is bringing some wonderful new knowledge in where people came from in antiquity. For example , one of the skeletons in the late Roman Lankhills cemetery was from North Africa ( http://centaur.reading.ac.uk/17041/ , http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/north...538888.stm ); a third century African lady found in Sussex (http://www.theargus.co.uk/news/10718630....oman_past/ ) ; Mauri Feroces on Hadrians Wall. And this blue glass head , found at South Shields

All in all, quite a lot of evidence!
