O dear, please read J. Blischke's article (op. cit.) on the history 
of research on the Goths. These authors now belong to this history!

Also, I noted that you gave no answer to my first question. So I 
shall ask again: Please provide the name of this common Baltic
culture that existed in 300BC. Also, could you explain how the
Oksywie culture, Przeworsk culture and the West-Baltic culture fit 
into this common Baltic culture. All of these cultures existed in 
300BC and are clearly distinguishable from each other.
