There were various salt mines around Salzburg (salt city) and they furnished salt to the Roman Empire using CELTIC slave labor.

The really big salt mine was at Hallstadt, not far away, a fascinating place to visit. Aside from some dating problems, this is a decent brief article on Hallstadt. Click on my FR LostTRibe Profile below for more...

If Angles and Saxons were Celts, why the different genetics per this article? It does not surprise me that Anglo Saxons came from Frisland, since Frisian is the only other language in the English language family other than English. It is parked there rather than under German.

I think it was the vikings who were into using the Russians as slav labor.
