Map of eastern North Yorkshire, showing the location where the hoards were found in relation to the nearby oppidum at Stanwick.

The oppidum (or possibly huge hillfort) of Stanwick was a major #IronAge centre of the Brigantes.

One of Britain's largest metalwork deposits was found nearby, indicating wealth comparable to mainland European societies.

Uxellodunum is an #IronAge hill fort, or oppidum, located above the river #Dordogne near the modern-day #French village of Vayrac. This stronghold lay in the lands of the Cadurci tribe. It was mentioned in #Caesar's Commentaries on the Gallic War

The scientists believe that the communities also invested a lot in their daughters as they would probably inherit their mother's status. "It's relatively rare in modern societies, but this might not always have been the case," says Dr Cassidy. The team found evidence that it happened in numerous places in Britain, suggesting it was widespread. The communities analysed lived around the same time as Boudica, the warrior Queen who led a rebellion against Roman invaders in East Anglia around AD 61. Dr Cassidy sequenced DNA taken from the bones of 57 individuals from a tribe called the Durotriges. The people lived in Winterborne Kingston, Dorset around 100 BC to AD 100. The skeletons were dug up from a cemetery by a team of archaeologists at Bournemouth University. By tracing mitochondrial DNA, which is only passed on by women, Dr Cassidy found that most women in the community were related by blood dating back generations. By contrast, there was a lot of diversity in the Y chromosomes, which is passed from father to son, indicating that men from lots of different families married into the community.` Source: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c20g7j707g8o Caption: The archaeologists were delighted to find skeletons so well-preserved in the clay soil in Dorset Here’s more on the #IronAge women’s graves unearthed in Dorset: https://hear-me.social/@NeuKelte/116312353729618624
