Interesting use of the term pre-Biblical here to mean between 30-10 BC.

I confess I'm struggling to work out what they assume they mean by their use of the term

My working theory is an educational oversight which led to the writer being unaware of the Old Testament.

I read the bit about "Hordes like this are relatively commonplace and reflective of the feeling of unease due to Boudica's revolt." and thought they had come across a mass grave.
