[gothic-l] Bastarnae

Hi, Valulfr!

 

A favorite sentence of the famous 
Russian archaeologist Mark Shchukin 
(a widely respected expert in the Celtic 
history and a leading specialist 
in exploration of Zarubinetskaya 
and Poyaneshty-Lukashevka archaeological 
cultures, from St. Petersburg) is 
"the Bastarnae were Bastarnae". 
He considers the Bastarnae as belonging 
to "peoples between the Celts and Germans" 
i.e. a third central European nation, 
neither exactly Germanic nor Celtic. 
Having migrated from central Europe 
to downer Danube in some 3rd century B.C., 
they introduced characteristic La-Tene features 
into two archaeological cultures: 
Zarubinetskaya (middle Dnepr) and 
Poyaneshty-Lukashevka (Moldova). 
Now these cultures are reliably attributed 
to the Bastarnae, conjecturally to the Strabo's 
Atmones and Sidones, respectively. (The third 
Strabo's grouping of the Bastarnae, the Peukines, 
relates probably to Sata Nou, Romania). Moreover, 
Shchukin supposes the Bastarnae as having been 
an important component of the Slavonic genesis, 
but this point of view is not commonly accepted.

 

There are plenty publications in Russian, but 
I can't give references in English, unfortunately.

 

Best regards,

Vladimir

Heilsa öllum,

Over the years, while doing research on the historical events that
occured in E. & SE Europe during the BCE period, I have wondered
about the tribe known as the Bastarnae. From what I have seen, they
are most often designated as a GMC tribe, but my question is, what is
the archaeological evidence, and what makes researchers come to the
conclusion that they were GMC, surely it can't be based on the
literary records of Romans alone?

Þakka þér fyrir,
Valulfr
