It's amatter of interpretation. According to what I read in
Albrectsen (see also earlier postings), skulls in Danish Neolithic
graves are mixed doligocephalic and brachycephalic, while those of
the newly introduced inhumation graves in Early Roman Iron Age (0-200
CE) are mostly doligocephalic. It is tempting to assume an invasion
(or two) in the interim period, eg. around 0 (and another one,
Cimbrian?, at 500 BCE).
