Further, I'd like to point out that beside Hachmann's and Kossack's
contributions in the 'Dreimännerbuch' on the archaeology of the area
in the relevant period, I read Peschel too, which I translated pieces
of for George

when it turned out that, in spite of his pronouncement
that there could not have been any factual foundation for the claims
of Snorri and Saxo of events in Germania at the time, he had no
knowledge of the actual (pre)history of that area.
****GK: Torsten the eel at work again. The point is and remains that whatever you draw from Snorri and/or Saxo about "events in Germania at the time" has no relationship to either the history, pre-history,or archaeology of Eastern Europe east of the Bug, about which I have some knowledge (:=)). Dream on Torstunsju/Torstenchyku (friendly Ukrainian diminutives both).****
How about you?
And in which article have you found his statements about Celtic
linguistics?
Torsten
