        It shouldn’t say “Some”, it should say “British” because if you read the article this seems to be a trend across British iron age communities.

          But Britishers weren’t around back then, time travellers notwithstanding, because the land wasn’t Britain yet. Furthermore, using “British” in place of “Some” would mitigate the problem but not solve it- owing to that the implication is that the set of Iron Age men were not homogenous. Reducing them to a subset, regardless of the name, still implies that the subset, now, is homogenous. No homo.
