Hello BLAM. Here's an interesting one for you:

"the paucity of surviving material from anywhere except Central Asia, ancient Egypt and the Austrian salt mines of (Celtic) Hallstadt. A demonstrable similarity between the twill fragments found in Austria and those of Central Asia, however, was the presence of lice."

I spent time at Hallstadt, one of the most "holy sites" of Celtic studies. Hope to go back sometime.

Mummies of central asia

Thanks. I read The Mummies Of Urumchi, by Elizabeth Barber and The Tarim Mummies, by Victor Mair. Both good books but I would recommend Mair's The Tarim Mummies of the two. I have tried to connect the refugees from the Black Sea flood to these folks without success. There's also a one hour documentary on the Discovery Channel that covers these mummies. Very interesting area, I wish I could go there. Sounds like you have traveled extensively.
