IT also had something to do with patterns- similar to those on the stones found in Ireland that were made by an unknown people. Or that's what I recall- maybe I remember it wrong.

I was unaware of the textile evidence. I note one of the URL's referrred to diagonal twill found in Europe before 500BC - 2500+ years ago. I also note the mummies described as either 3000 or 4000 years old. If there was population movement as opposed to trade, I wonder which way it went? The Celts were described by ancient writers as living throughout northern Europe - not just Gaul and the British isles - but in Germany, Austria, and elsewhere. At one point they invaded northern Italy and Asia Minor. Place names like Galicia in Poland and in Spain, Gaul (France), and Galatia in Asia Minor testify to their wide geographic spread. As other peoples like Germans, Slavs, Huns, Bulgars, Magyars, etc. invaded or were pushed into Europe, the Celts were pushed to the western fringe of Europe - Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Brittany. Perhaps the Celts themselves were an earlier wave of immigrants into Europe. From one of the URL's I noticed one of the Uighurs appeared to have brown hair and look pretty "European" though of course he isn't: utoledo.edu I think DNA evidence from the mummies would be interesting.
