I think there are a number of factors there which might suggest the burial was of a visitor to these shores. I'd be interested in clarifying how they arrived at the date attributed to this inhumation....
It is from Springhead, and they used C14 dating for the person. (That's what tipped them off to the odd C isotope signature.)
