How is that dated? The thought of two peoples migrating simultaneously in opposite directions, playing musical chairs seems odd to me.
****GK: The Galician/Volynian Przeworskers (on the basis of military equipment (incl. spurs, swords, bronze belt hookups, lances), and ceramic types have definitely been dated as arriving in the latter half of the 1rst c. BCE. But I lack info as to where they came from. OTOH Pachkova has analyzed the Yastorfers who contributed to the rise of Poeneshti-Lukashovka (end of 3rd- beg. of 2nd c BCE) as originating from the Gubin Yastorf area. I am waiting for an e-mail reply from a New York librarian about Pachkova. BTW thanks for the Makiewicz links.*****
