"It had been there for more than 5,000 years. Near the body researchers found leather and hide clothing and equipment, including a bow, a quiver full of arrows, and a copper axe."

How far is it from where this guy was found to your Celts in Halstadt? They and the Tarim Basin Mummies were making and wearing 'twill' clothes 3,000 years BC. I wonder why this guy was wearing mostly leather.

Not all that far.  The Celts were all over that area of Italy, but that was thousands of years later.  There are probably some "standard" travel routes that become obvious to all who travel the region.

>They and the Tarim Basin Mummies were making and wearing 'twill' clothes 3,000 years BC.

I do recall you mentioning that.  Your "clothes analysis" is interesting.

>I wonder why this guy was wearing mostly leather?

Probably because he was able to outrun the goat!  {ggggg}.   Sorry about that...
