Let me see if I got the last one right:
"The Gustow group is an iron age culture on the lower Oder. The name
of that culture derives from the eponymous place (hamlet?) Gustow on
Rügen. In the inventory and traditions of the population of the Gustow
group are evident influences of the Wielbark culture, which express
themselves in a bi-ritual ceremony, where the deceased were buried in
logs and not equipped with tools (weapons?). ?? likewise there
influences of the population of the Elbe cultural area - the forms of
clasps (fibulas), the forms of disks decorated with ??."
(The dictionary I found on the net was not very extensive)


What is this 'bi-ritual' thing? I of course smell something
heterogenous here. I was reminded of a newspaper article in Denmark
proclaiming that the dissimilar burial custom in a comparable period
testified to 'religious tolerance'
