Hi Faith, This might help, look for this book by Peter Berresford Ellis: Celt and Saxon, The Struggle for Britian AD 410-937 FP 1993, RP 1995,6,9, ISBN 0 09473260 4 Quote verbatum: The situation in Britian was often confused. It was far from being the stable, peaceful Roman province so many writers like to imagine. The indigenous Celtic population, the Britions, had not entirely given up hope that one day they would be able to throw off the yolk of Rome......End qoute <perhaps something had been discovered since then> You could look also look on the web for references to "The Amesbury Archer" he was found in 2002. This would take you back to 2,400-2,200 BC and up to date thought on Brit.origins. Regards, Beryl
