Re: [tied] False Scandinavian Origins

According to Albrectsen, the finds in Fyn and other parts of Denmark
point to a connection towards Western Germania in the period 0 - 200
CE, then (200-400 CE) towards the Black Sea region. Perhaps what
happened was that the trade routes in that direction were slowly
opened again, in whatever way?

I noticed BTW that the Germanic-speaking area at the time corresponds
in extent to the later Poland-Lithuania. Since I suspect that trade
routes and transport are important in defining the area that a
linguistic group choose to settle in, could I ask Piotr (as everybody
does!) to tell us some of what he might know of production and
transport routes in Poland-Lithuania, especially transport on water
and the problem of transshipment between the Baltic and the Black Sea
river systems? All I know is anecdotal information that the roads
were not too good? Thank you in advance?
