The title of the article is:
CONTRIBUTIONS MADE TO THE STUDY OF THE BURIAL RITE
PERFORMED BY THE COMMUNITIES INHABITING EAST
OF THE CARPATHIANS IN 3RD C. B.C. - 3RD C. A.D.

Did the Bastarnae live in the area east of the Carpathians, ie Moldova, in the period 3rd cent BCE - 3rd cent. CE, yes or no?
*****GK: That would be a good question to put to Nicolita. Nothing in his article (or in the titles of his references) suggests that they did. His  "communities" are either identified in these references as Getic or are not specifically identified. Poeneshti-Lukashovka is completely ignored. Such an approach is tendentious at best if not worthless. He seems to be a Getic specialist, judging by his 1973 article. Luckily we have plenty of good archaeologists (and historians) who give us reliable information about the Poeneshti-Lukashovka culture of the Bastarnian communities. But perhaps you  like Nicolita because his title is a substitute for argument, like your contention about the "Bastarnian invasion of Przeworsk".*****
