Tore,

there is no such thing as 'authochonous for a certain number of
centuries, than originated from somewhere else'. Authochonous for the
Wielbark and for the preceeding Okcywie culture means that they did
not come from anywhere, but developed locally in the area of modern
Pommerania and Silesia. The Jastorf culture is authochonous to the
area of modern east Lower Saxony, meaning that its carriers did not
come from somwhere else or adopted their culture from somewhere
else.

Where do you think the Scandinavians, say the modern Swedes or
Gotlanders originally came from?
