Also, the physical features of the mummies (the oldest of which is 2000 BC) looked very much like someone from Europe today; the surviving fabric samples (some of which were similar to tartans) were similar to those of Europe and atypical of the then-contemporary Chinese fabrics. :')

The 'tartan' mummies were those in the Tarim Basin in China. The Windover mummies are the ones found in the Florida bog and had fabrics but not similar to tartans.
