[Joze Noriker]

Yes . i saw this register but my opinion is that this is a misstake.
The Falkirk tartan is made by dog teeth techniques, or weft weaving style.

Here an article about the roman textles:

Sorry: he term: "celtic burials from Yorkshire?? After Alesia Celts wasn't existing .... their culture dissapeared rapidly. The Briton-tribes were mixed of more tribes .... That is the meaning of some british reenactors of late iron age-early middle age in forum Kelticos, too.


Edit.: here an article in book The world of Roman textiles: Tunica Ralla, Tunica Spissa: The Color and Textiles of Roman Costumes by Judith Lynn Sebesta. On P. 72 is the text that less costly checkered cotton textiles in roman shops comes from Babylon, link:
