Greater Birmingham's Ancient, Celtic, Roman, and Post-Roman Archeology and Kingdoms (Other than Metchley Fort) Before Mercia

[bilbo_bibbins]

What is the archaeological story of Greater Birmingham before becoming part of Mercia (pre-Saxons and Danes)? What kingdoms and tribes were its peoples a part of? What were its placenames? Are any still in use today, or at least an echo?

Kind regards,
Jon
