Hi again Steve,

while I have used this example myself, I am not so sure if it is so
excellently suited to demonstrate **ethnic** origin. In this context
modern archaeologists  often refer to 'the coming of the
Toyota-people'. That means that by the logic that links material
cultures with linguistic/ethnic groups the 1970/80 should in future be
identified with a period of Japanese migration to Europe.

cheers,
Dirk
