The origin of the English is an interesting problem - and not only for them. In one short century, the evidence from texts, burial, artefacts, stable isotopes and now DNA provides several different answers to the question of whether England was invaded by Germans in the fifth century and if so in what manner. The rigorous approach by our authors tips the balance back in favour of a population changing its cultural allegiance - rather than being physically overwhelmed - but, as they emphasise, any new reading must depend on a very high level of archaeological precision - perhaps only now coming within reach
