Koniec kultury przeworskiej: Ekspansja poza ziemie polskie w przededniu przekroczenia Renu 406 r.

Vandal peoples play no role in the emergence of the Przeworsk Culture in the 3rd century BC. The transformation of material culture in Polish lands occurred as a result of a combination of three circumstances: 1) the weakening of the demographic, economic, and probably military potential of the indigenous population of Polish lands, which produced artifacts catalogued as the Pomeranian culture and late epigone groups of the Lusatian culture; 2) the arrival of Germanic migrants from Brandenburg at the turn of the 4th and 3rd centuries, carriers of the Jastorf culture, who migrated along the Noteć, Warta, Vistula, and Bug rivers towards the Dniester, where they settled and became known as the Bastarnae, creators of the local Poienești-Lucășeuca culture, similar to the Jastorf culture; some migrants settled in isolated areas among the local population; 3) the expansion of the Celtic La Tène culture in the 3rd century BCE, which dominated Polish lands demographically in the south and in Kuyavia, or only culturally and technologically in the remaining areas. The Vandal peoples become visible in historical sources only in the 1st century CE, constituting a faction of the Germanic peoples who had recently crossed the Baltic to the southern coast of the Baltic, present-day Pomerania. The Vandal peoples included the Goths, Burgundians, Varini, Charini, Silingi, and the Hasdingi clan. In the 2nd century, they would develop into the Vandals in the strict sense, with whom other former Vandal peoples, such as the Goths, would feel no ethnic community. To somehow "marry" the Vandals with the Przeworsk culture, a scenario was developed in the late 19th century, according to which the Lugii people inhabiting the Przeworsk culture area were considered a tribal confederation, in which the previously dominant Celtic, Paraceltic, and generally non-Vandal, non-Germanic tribes were to be dominated in the 1st century AD by the Vandals, who were thus to adopt both the old name and the archaeological culture. What evidence is there for this substitution of the Lugii? None. At least not in written texts, of which there are quite a few. What is the rationale behind this, besides the desire to grant the Vandals, a people who would establish a sizeable state in Africa, an equally sizeable starting territory in Central Europe? Archaeology is supposed to support this, namely the monuments of the Przeworsk culture, which the Vandals, already a specific and precisely identified barbarian people, supposedly carried with them during their migrations in the 5th century and their brief stay in North Africa. Wherever the Vandals were, there were supposedly monuments of the Przeworsk culture: from the upper Tisza valley in the Carpathian Basin, to the territories of Germany on the Danube, Main, and Rhine, in Gaul beyond the Rhine, and finally in Spain. In 2019, two researchers from Czech universities, Jaroslav Jiřík and Joan Pinar Gil, published the article "Late Przeworsk and post-Przeworsk, Elbian and Danubian. Vandals, Suebi, and the dissemination of Central European elements of material culture in the Western Provinces" in their collective work "Przeworsk Culture. Processes of Change and External Contacts." Vandals, Suebi, and the dissemination of Central European elements of material culture in the western provinces.] In this program I discuss the first part of this extensive article, and I also ramble a lot in my comments on this work.
