No, non-presence is inferred, and departure is inferred from presence and non-presence.

(TP)Not true.

"Escaping from the Sarmatian raids thyearers of the Zarubintsy culture, the Bastarnae seek not only to the floodplains of the Dnieper, protecting, probably not too reliably, but also fleeing into more remote areas. Part of the population of the Polesie group is gone, perhaps, to the west, into Volhynia, where, mixed with the gradually arriving here carriers of the Przeworsk culture, they formed the Zubretskaya post-Zarubinetsy group of the Rakhno-Pochep horizon (Kozak, 1991)."
*****GK: "gradually arriving" yes. And no Zarubinians further west have been noted, i.e. in the territory of classical Przeworsk. Note that most recently archaeologists have been reassessing these "arriving Przeworskers" as a possibly closely related but distinct Chernychenska culture.*****

You're not making sense. If we can't identify the Atmoni and Sidoni archaeologically, then we can't show their presence or absence.
*****GK: Don't be sillier than usual Torsten. If we can't identify ANY Zarubinian sites or objects somewhere then by inference this applies to the A. and S. since they were Zarubinian.*****

I'm trying to get them thru my library. But it seems to me that since the Zvenigorod group had Roman influence, the flight of the Atmoni - Sidones into the Przeworsk area has been dated to some time after the border LaTène D - Roman A.

"In the Upper Dniester in 40-70s there was already a special Przeworsk-Dacian-Sarmatian Zvenigorod group (sometimes it, as it seems for no particular reason, is referred to as Lipitskiy culture): heavily armed, having, according to the findings of imported bronze vessels, contacts with the Romans. It is not to be ruled out that the people of Kolokolina-Zvenigorod-Chizhikova were those Bastarnae, whom

and returned hostages to the Bastarnae. Under the cover sheets of their relatives also fled, possibly, the Bastarnae-Zarubintsy, retaining in the Zubretskaya group their language and identity until the end of the III century."
