Hi Patrick,
You mention the disparity (Ithink!) of checkered fabrics if you look on the archeological finds. I'm not casting doubt on your statement and this question is just out of interest, but do you know of any resouces concerning textile finds from 'Celtic' areas (other then the tablet weave decorations). I know of later textile finds from the Migration Period/Late Roman Iron Age in Scandinavia that do have what we would call Plaid but not the later far more complex patterns we call Tartan.
Having said all of that I also like the impressions in Folkert's photos.
cheers
