But did you Google "kelten" and "nederland", as I suggested in my
original post?

I do.

Schrijver wrote a groundbreaking article in which he suggested that a
Celtic language related to Brittonic - termed "North Sea Celtic" by
him - was spoken in the Netherlands into the early Middle Ages.
Toorians has made similar contributions to the discussion of Celts
int he Netherlands. If you do not have access to a reasearch library,
you can read abstracts of their articles on this subject - and
sometimes large sections of the articles (thanks to Google Books) -
online.

Not all Celtic people necessarily participated in the Hallstatt
culture.
