Chinese in Roman Britain

[Flavivs Aetivs]

It's no surprise. DNA analysis isn't great though in terms of burials to identify a people with an ethnicity. The only real way to tell is through skull morphology (which just says what mix of caucasoid, negroid, and mongoloid they are) and the cultural context found in the burial.

These people were likely "Asiatic", and everyone automatically assumes "Chinese!" However, they are probably a Turanid admixture so they could be from as far west as the Ukraine to as far East as Mongolia/China.

They can't be associated with any of the Sarmatian/Alanic units in the Notitia because these skeletons date at the latest to the early 4th century AD.
