@Flussmusik
@archaeology @medievodons @histodonsFixed. Try again.
@KentNavalesi @archaeology @medievodons @histodons Thanks! Now it works as it should.
Captivating findings.

Cool! Though as we have portraits, I’m not certain DNA was required!
Where exactly do we have portraits for early medieval (7th century) england?
They are on mastodon and as far as I understand probably won’t see your reply unless you tag them?
They have already replied and I see the reply. Maybe different behaviour between Lemmy and Piefed
Could you share the reply. It doesn’t show up on lemmy :(
Try if you can see it using this link: https://piefed.zip/comment/942793

Haha my first thought
@KentNavalesi @archaeology @medievodons @histodons the haaretz URL is returning an error, but here’s the original report:
This is wild, thanks for sharing it.
@archaeology the link should be fixed now, and thanks for the cambridge link!
@KentNavalesi @archaeology the Cambridge paper is a fascinating read, especially the second half, where they get past the science and technology of the discovery and discuss the context.
“The churches in Africa were powerhouses of early-medieval Christendom, and the African Abbot Hadrian who joined Archbishop Theodore in Canterbury in the later seventh century played a fundamental role in the practical establishment of Christianity in England (Lapidge 2004).”
Wow
