average heights query

[burntcopper]

so very crap at google-fu.

trying to find out average heights (or at least ranges) of people in Roman Britain, post-empire, saxons and vikings. Also likely heights of Romans (the italian ones, not the gauls/hispanics/everyone else in the empire) (random bunnies will hopefully SHUT UP if I provide them with random data). Anyone got any links to papers/studies? Or can pull the facts off the top of their heads?

yeah, considering how many skeletons've been dug up, you'd think so. gah.

Somebody even asked in my Etruscans & Early Rome class the other day! Bah, I say, bah. And I know we talked about in, like, every history/semi-archaeology-ish class I've ever had.
