Influences
Scholars view the Przeworsk culture as an amalgam of a series of localized cultures. Continuity with the preceding Pomeranian culture is observed, albeit modified by significant influences from the La Tene and Jastorf cultures.
The Przeworsk culture is sometimes associated with the Vandals named by ancient geographers, as well as other "eastern" peoples. Vandals are thought to have migrated out of Scandinavia into the Baltic coast of Poland, likely in the 2nd century B.C but possibly as early as the 5th century B.C, and by around 120 B.C had settled in Silesia., adding to the period of strong Scandinvaian influence on Poland that had lasted since the Bronze age To the east, in what is now northern Ukraine and southern Belarus, was the Zarubintsy culture, to which it is linked as a larger archaeological complex. Much of this area was subsequently absorbed by the Wielbark culture.
