yes, there is no doubt that the borders between celt (strictly speaking) and germanic in that part of europe (extending into eastern britain) were already too grey at that time.

That's why I use the same vague term (and for lack of something better) as in the modern antiquarian ('kelt') to avoid 'celt' and to refer to the far earlier ancient stratum of Ur-opeans (which includes the 'basques' and the rest of neolithic europe) slightly tinged by the earliest indoeuropean bronze age tribes that began to leak into the west with or without migration depending on the part of europe.

For that matter, and funnily, the further west, the less celtic but the more 'keltic'.
