*****GK: Hello Dirk,
Something I meant to ask you earlier. Where does
Bierbrauer stand on the issue of the so-called "East
Pomeranian" or "Weiger-Krotoshin" culture, which was
an offshoot of the Lusatian culture, flourished in
much of Poland in ca. 600-200 BC (NB- It is sometimes
also called the "Face-Urn" culture) and became the
foundation of the Psheworsk culture? Does he consider
this "Face-Urn" culture to be proto-Germanic?******
