In case there is desire to continue flogging this.
As mentioned, the current standard opus on the P.
culture is Dombrowska's 1988 publication. Subsequent
studies have merely confirmed and polished (no pun)
her findings.
There is a brief summary in M.B.Shchukin's "Na rubezhe
er", pp. 101-107(Saint Petersburg 1994), and a lucid
little paragraph in his important study (in Russian)
"The birth of the Slavs" (available on-line)[see
http://www.krotov.info/history/09/schukin.html%5d. Here
is an ad hoc translation of the latter:
"There was no direct sequence of Przeworsk from the
Pomeranian culture... The ceramic of the Pomeranian
culture occasionally appears once more in Przeworsk
complexes, but not in the early phase of [Przeworsk]
development, only subsequently, after one or two
generations...The process of the emergence of the new
Przeworsk community on the territory of today's Poland
was complex. It included, beside the weak
manifestation of a Pomeranian continuity, an active
influx of carriers of the Yastorf culture
(particularly its Gubin group from the Oder-Neiss
interriver region), of Celts from Silesia, and,
perhaps, of migrants from Bornholm and other islands
of the Baltic." Shchukin makes an interesting point
about this Yastorf "Gubin group". It was formed as a
result of the fusion (his term) of an earlier Yastorf
incursion which assimilated the local Pomeranian
culture carriers. The "complexity" of Przeworsk was
also due to the Yastorf element being both of the
"Gubin" type (mostly) and of more northwesterly
Yastorf elements. The presence of both Yastorf as such
and "Gubin Yastorf" is mentioned by Shchukin in
connection with the creation of the Zarubyntsi and
Poeneshti-Lukashovka cultures. Gubin Yastorf emerged
in the 4th c. BCE. Przeworsk, Zarubyntsi,
P.-Lukashovka, Oksywie all arose in the course of the
3rd c. BCE All of them "Latenized" cultures.****
