Usually the last scrap of a vanished people (even if vanquished by war)
is their place names. People can be so unimaginative, sometimes.

Whups, right. Picts, Jutes and Angles were all Celtic. And the
Saxons, Frisians, Franks, I imagine there were others, too. They were
all descendants of non-Roman Europeans who invaded (or immigrated to)
England at one time or another.

They were all invaders/immigrants, but the Saxons & Frisians, and I
think the Franks (although didn't they become Normans first?) were all
Germanic (another branch of PIE) not Celtic.

As I understand it, the Latin "Celtic" meant about the same
as "Barbarian"; it meant anyone in Europe who wasn't Roman. I'm not
positive, but I think all of the Germanic tribes were considered Celts
as well. I looked around on the WWW a little and was unable to find a
good definitive explanation of just who were, and who were not, Celts.

At least in modern usage, Celts means the PIE group that was in most of
western europe before the romans & germans got there. The continental
ones mainly left place names and legends behind. The british ones
survived long enough to leave last names and a few "living" languages to
the present day. These are associated with ireland, wales, & scotland
(although the celts now associated with scotland are a later branch of
immigrants from ireland. The original scottish celts, the picts are now
gone. The picts were a branch of the another vanished group of celts,
the britons.) The celts apparently wandered further than this.
Causcasian mummies with red hair, and dressed in plaid cloth have been
found in China, much to the consternation of modern authorities. Some
more about celts is here:

this speaks of "celtic neanderthals", but note it's in the legends section.

That rings a bell. I'm surprised that no one else is playing, though.
Surely slynne and I are not casting Perls before swine here.
