The headline is misleading. There is no evidence that the skeleton had any relation to Roman occupiers, other than a possible chronological coincidence.

Should have said “Roman Era Skeleton”, but they didn’t have enough space. ;^)

Well, the archaeologist described it as a “Roman crouch burial,” which is a term I’ve never heard before. It doesn’t show up on a Goggle search - but it’s apparent that the archaeologist associates it with Roman burials.
