Viggen Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 The centuries-long tussle for prestige between England and Scotland may be about to end in victory for the clans, with new archaeological evidence suggesting that the first national leader of the British Isles was a Scot. The remains of a mysterious figure found in an Iron Age chariot burial under the A1M motorway was of "exceptional significance" according to academics, who have also unearthed the leftovers of one of Britain's biggest feasts at his funeral site in Yorkshire. full story at the Guardian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primus Pilus Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callaecus Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 This is just another example on how the past is constructed in order to serve political agendas in the present. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, it would be worth seeing the items found there. The man sounds very important and the site might become rather important, archaeologically.
