It is interesting but I'm intrigued at how they'll manage to do it.

I think you are approaching it from too historical a view. This is a cultural project. A lot of the straight historical archaeological stuff is already known, as the article says, but no-one has turned it into popularly accessible performance. It might be interesting to compare "straight" reconstructions with whatever "artistic" interpretations it generates.

I thought you were Cumbrian, which is a form of North British?

Not really, most of our dialect words are probably Norse. There isn't much of the Cymri left in Cumbria
