Calling all armchair generals! Boudica's Last Stand.
Simply answered: funding
yep understood and referenced in my note above, however none of us engaged in this topic are funded but we are intrigued and prepared to look/speculate.

In my professional life we do pro-bono work in areas that interest us for satisfaction and profile, so either this approach doesn't happen in archaeology or it doesn't happen in this case due to lack of interest. I'm still left pondering why there aren't archaeologists looking to make a reputation scouring the country pro-bono for evidence of this intriguing story, (or not pro-bono if they build it into their paid research programme if they are full time academics).

Maybe there is a whole library of thesis studies on this topic which we're/I'm not aware of? Although I am grateful the field is left open to us, serious academic input might ruin the fun of the armchair approach.

Whilst I'm still hung up on Church Stowe I'm coming to the conclusion that the "random scyth method" is the most likely way to the solution, and I'll gratefully welcome the release it will bring when it does appear. Until then as a non-Romanist, non-historian I'm learning a lot and seeing the topic fleshed out in a way that none of the current books, papers, tv shows has been able to, so thanks all contributors.

@ Mike- this thread is all your fault, you have directly cost me months of my life :-x where do I send the invoice?
