Torsten, I don't know of any evidence of Q-Celtic being spoken in
Britain (although of course in Ireland). Couldn't P-Celtic speakers been
the first Celtic speakers in Britain (although there's know way to know)?
It cannot be established that P-Celtic arrived late, because you can't
equate a language with material remains. Of course P-Celts could have
arrived very early.
