Dirk,
You are quite right.
I contacted Anders Kaliff and he apologized for the mistake. It had
come into the manuscript by mistake.
This paragraph should not have been in the book. It should have said
those parts of the late Lausitz culture that inhabited the lower
Vistula area. He meant the Cassubiscan or east Pomerian culture group
which he mentions on the following page.

Good that we clarified that.
Tore
