Yeah one of those situatons. Obviously they have a cultural link to the east and adopt a lot of Greek ideas so an Aegean origin (at least for some of the ruling class) is quite probable, but there's heaps of continuity in the material culutre as well, so i'm guessing a great proportion of Etruscans were locals. Maybe a similar situation to "Celts" in the British Isles? Or English/Lallans speakers in Scotland?
