Didn't you say there were three archaeological groups? So...

****GK: There were three archaeological groups in the Zarubinian culture, and after 50 BCE a fourth one began to be constituted (about which more anon). I did not say very much about Poeneshti-Lukashovka except that only one such group remained after 50 BCE (in Bukovyna/Galicia). Before 50 BCE there were about four smaller P/L groups in Moldavia. I don't think Strabo spoke of the Late P/L group in B/G because he would have mentioned the fact that in his time there were Getae between the Peucini and the Atmones(?)/Sidones. So his account is prior to Burebista.****
