I must ask myself, what was between the Jastorf culture and the La Tène culture in the 5th c. BC period? this would seem to concern the stretch of land connecting Prague, Frankfurt, Cologne and Rotterdam. This would have been the Celtic–Proto-Germanic contact zone. La Tène influence seems to occur only from about the 2nd century BC in this area, i.e. briefly before Germanization. Was this some sort of non-Celtic, non-Germanic no-mans-land in the period 500-200 BC? (I realize this cannot be answered with any certainty). dab (𒁳) 12:06, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

ok, there are the Boii of Bohemia. These would then be candidates for the first Celtic (Iron Age) contact of Proto-Germanic culture. dab (𒁳) 12:12, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

the Baltic region may also be interesting in this respect. At least according to de-wiki, there would have been a mixture of Scythian and Celtic influence from 500 BC. It would then appear that for the beginning of the Nordic Iron Age, we'd need to research the Baltic Iron Age first. dab (𒁳) 12:16, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
