Quote:Can there be a differenciation between arrivals in 5th & 10th Century?
What are the other 47% ?
No, it's just modern population but Northumbria wasn't as heavily influenced by Scandinavians as was Yorkshire.
The rest are seen as 'indigenous britons'.
This study is rather old in genetic terms and one of the main assumptions of the model, that the indigenous population are similar to the Basques, is rather suspect thesedays. However, the Peoples of the British Isles Project are sampling northumbria in their study and results we be out late 2008/early 2009.
