Torsten is incapable of demonstrating how the
Bastarnians, or the Goths became "Germanics" on the
basis of his theory of Przeworsk origins for Germanic.
Indeed he is incapable of demonstrating something even
more basic: how Przeworsk itself became Germanic. And
Przeworsk (Vandalic/Lugian/Suebian) is just as extinct
as Bastarnian. And just as Germanic (linguistically!)
as Bastarnian, if we are to believe Tacitus.And why
shouldn't we?****

What is Przeworsk in your opinion ?
I read it's about the same as Zarubintski.
