Genetic analysis shows Beachy Head Lady originated from local Roman-era southern England population. She had white skin, blonde hair, and light eyes. Previous sub-Saharan African origin claim debunked. BBC documentary falsely portrayed her as black Briton with dark skin reconstruction. Initial study wrongly suggested Mediterranean or Cypriot origin. Plaque honoring her African heritage removed after evidence. She died 129-311 AD, aged 18-25, height 4.9ft. Leg bone shows healed serious injury. Bone isotopes indicate seafood-heavy diet. Stonehenge builders were pale-skinned Anatolian early farmers.
