*****GK: Basically, Przeworsk= Pomorska (Late
Lusatian)+Jastorf+ La Tene. Jastorf, of course, is
taken to represent the Germanic element. I'm sure the
maps in the works on the way will indicate the
relative strength of the various components in their
areas of settlement. We have some historical
information about the collaboration between Celts and
Germanics in the east decades prior to the
full-fledged constitution of Przeworsk. In the
so-called "Decree in honour of Protogenes" issued by
the authorities of Olbia on the Black Sea about 230
BC, there is a mention that the city had twice been
attacked in the previous years by warbands composed of
"Sciri" and "Galatae". I suppose the former would have
been Jastorf and the latter La Tene. ******
