Primus Pilus 10 Report post Posted March 11, 2005 I guess they mean he was from the geographic area that later made up Scotland? Otherwise one has to question the expertise of these so called archaeologists. Its probably just the reporter screwing it up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree, it would be worth seeing the items found there. The man sounds very important and the site might become rather important, archaeologically. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
