Hello George,

Bierbrauer makes no comments on this culture if I remember correctly.
One of the main authorities on the Przeworsk culture is K. Godlowski
and I shall check if he has anything to say about that. Godlowski's
publications on the Przeworsk cultur are highly recommended.


cheers,
Dirk

PS I hope your latest experience does not discourage you from further
participation on this list. I had many such encounters and was
actually given a lecture on how to interpret a German text only last
week. To see the comedy in that you must know that I am German ;-)
