****GK: The Bastarnae are associated with the elements
of the Jastorf culture which arrived in Moldavia and
some adjoining territories in the course of the 3rd c.
BCE. Check out Jastorf here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jastorf_culture
That's the area they're supposed to have migrated
from.

===========
Proto-Germanic can't be from Jastorf
nor any Western or Northern or CEntral
European Archeological culture.
It has an Eastern organisation of the verb,
It does not have the a e i o u vocalism.
Early archaic words of Uralic origin.
Kartvelian loanwords etc
Apart from the prejudice that Germanic
**should** come from Jastorff
what is the material data that support
a claim that Jastorf features have moved elsewhere ?
