And Britain became home to an island race.

Probably a rest stop for arabs.

...the archaeologists said the fire appeared to have been made to provide heat and not cooking, because no food waste was found...

Invalid assumption, IMO. The ancient travelers could have cleaned up after themselves. Animals could have carried off any food waste. Any leftover food may have completely decayed. The archaeologists should stick to what they know and can show empirically, without throwing in speculations.

"The dating of a feature from charcoal is problematic since the wood that was being burned may have been felled a long time before it was used.

Huh?

I’ve always maintained that one can’t sink a spade in the earth in England without finding something interesting. When stationed at RAF Lakenheath in early nineties there was always some find when a new building was started. One time they found a burial site of a Viking and his horse fully intact. This article caught my eye also because my wife and our little killer Jack Russell stayed in Nairn on a holiday once. Remember it for the walks on the beach and a great pub there. We also were into antique hunts and found a few good pieces around there. I also remember it as a historic area for clashes between the Covenentors and the establishment religion. Being a reformed Presbyterian I found that of particular interest.
