It's merely a question of having good-neighbourly relations with Germany :). To be fair, not all Polish "autochthonists" are (or were) so out of nationalistic motives. A Slavic homeland in Poland is a hypothesis that can be discussed "sine ira et studio" just like any other hypothesis. Golab's book, for example, is free of propaganda, I believe. The converse, however, is often true: nationalists tend to believe in Blut und Boden, and therefore in autochthony since time out of mind.

    Thanks, Piotr.
     I've learned some more by using phrases in your reply in Web 
searches.
     I'm impressed by the apparent absence of nationalistic bias among the Polish archaeologists.  There's hope for the World yet!
