Woman recognised as rCyfirst black BritonrCO by BBC was actually white
DNA analysis proves Beachy Head woman was light-eyed blonde
A woman who was recognised as the rCLfirst black BritonrCY by the BBC was actually white, a new genetic study has shown.
In 2016, the series Black and British: A Forgotten History, suggested
that the Roman skeleton of a woman found at Beachy Head was from sub-
Saharan Africa.
A plaque was erected to commemorate her heritage, which was later removed
when a study suggested the woman was more likely to be from Cyprus, with
a Mediterranean complexion.

Now a new DNA analysis of the skeleton by scientists at the Natural
History Museum has shown that the woman originated from southern England
and was white, with blonde hair and light eyes.
