I can't claim any expertise in the tribal stuff, I know it has been discussed. My main point is the narrowing of approach direction which the Wash provides. There is a bit of hearsay floating around that the Iceni may have been ethnically different to the rest of the Britains, cut off by the Wash maybe they were proto-Anglo Saxons. At the Warwick conference someone did mention that funerary practices showed a distinct difference between East and West. That kind of division may have meant the Easterners were out on their own, but I am way out of my depth with that stuff.
