It sounds like a cool topic anyway, what kinds of original sources are you finding?

It is a cool topic, I just have a hard time motivating myself and being all disciplined and stuff.
As for original sources, since I study archaeology, there's loads of original sources. Excavations have shown that the original inhabitants of the area had almost all moved away by the late third, early fourth century AD. So, the inhabitants that came after them must have come from somewhere but that is not well known. Consensus is now generally that it are German tribes who moved in but the physical evidence of that is limited.
Other point of the paper is the contact between the people in Frisia and people in England. We know from archaeological evidence that the contact was there, it just needs clarifying of when did it began and why did it happen and who came, just military type groups or family groups.
