To Virginia Plass: The links posted here is reading and background material on the original home of the Celts and the Hallstadt Culture (this is in the area between Salzburg in Austria and Bad Reichenhall in Germany) where huge salt caves were used as preserving storage for meat, and salt allowed the Celts to become wealthy by trading with it. (you can still drive with a little train into these salt cave museum at Salzgitter, and this is worth a visit) See the area in Europe of the original Celtic settlements before it reached the British Isles. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celts After the Celts, we see the influx in the middle Europe area by Germans fron the North (Jutland in Denmark) and a mix of Celts and Germans in the Strakonitz, Bohemian area according to excavation in that Bohemian area. You can read of the period following the Celts here. Watch the time frame and see the maps of settlement in middle Europe, it shows a lot of photos of excavated artifacts, but the download of this article is rather long: http://www.davidkfaux.org/Cimbri-Chronology.pdf Here is a time table from the oldest times to recent history with the Slavic, and in particular the Czech development in the area. http://www.affytravel.com/czechguide/historyinbrief.htm Submitted by Aida ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On Thu, Apr 8, 2010 at 11:11 PM, Aida Kraus <[email protected]> wrote: > You also may want to look at this map before the arrival of Slavs in the > area of middle Europe.
