Don't hold your breath, for once the BBC gets its hands on making a programme about this, they will turn out to be immigrants from Africa sent to enrich us.

Latest info from this site,
If the assumptions are correct then we maybe had huns in Colchester in the 5th Century.
"Hi Steve
Not much progress yet but we have had interesting feedback from our bone
specialist who has been looking at the human material from the site. One
of the burials in those ring ditches turns out to be female with a skull
showing characteristics indicating some eastern European/Asia ancestry.
This is extremely interesting. It reminds us about the Huns and their
5th century movements but it is very early days yet on this for sure. We
are hoping to see a programme of isotope and possibly dna analysis start
soon."

Latest from this source;
We have excavated the graves and the remains have been removed. These
are important finds and there will undoubtedly be something about them
in the new museum displays which are due to be ready in about two years.
(This a complete reworking of the museum.)
He's talking about Colchester Castle Museum.
