Ionit,a mentions finds in the Zarubinian culture only in the sentence
above, and another one, which I've also quoted (look for C^aplin). It
must be the same finds (C^aplin) Boosen mentioned
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/cybalist/message/31959
Another loaner requisitioned Boosen, so to get it back to obtain
further details would take some time. Almgren himself (Studien über
nordeuropäischen Fibeln, 1923) which I have now does provide a list
of finds (rather dated, of course), but he does not seem to use the
term Zarubinian (how old is that?). I don't find C^aplin on his list,
I'm afraid. Almgren does have magnificent illustrations, in case you
would want to do the identification yourself.
