In the article, it looks like they did the forensic study to make a good call.

Anyway, after the Romans pounded Carthago into submission, the whole of North Africa became the bread basket of the Roman Empire - for hundreds of years. By the end of the Roman Empire, it's no surprise citizens from one side of the empire would be found on an opposite side. Slaves could buy their freedom.

yes I know my Roman history.

Well looking at the article maybe they did do the call justice. One of things recently coming out of new studies of the ancient world is that people were more mobile then historians had previously thought.

I guess not all UK scientists are as sloppy as the fools at East Anglia.
