Just something for the time-line;
Jastorf was an Iron-age culture so it could not have influenced the Nordic-Bronze-age that preceded it;
Jastorf (Iron-age) was in turn influenced by the Hallstatt and LaTene Iron-age of the Danube/Alpine zone;
Sophie Bergerbrant - Bronze Age Identities (2007)
Kristiansen (1998:68ff) argues that the Nordic Bronze Age culture was composed of elements of general European origin, such as tumulus barrows and later urn burials, and components of genuine Nordic origin, e.g. the lurs and female belt ornaments.
Apart from the Burial rites (Tumulus/Urns) also the Weaponry [Griffzungenschwerter] is identical to
the Urnfield culture complex;
Urnfield Griffzungenschwerter in the Nordic-Bronze-age ~1200 BC;
The Nordic-Bronze-age did not greatly diff. from the Urnfield culture complex;
Which is also manifested by the continued Hallstatt and LaTene influence in Jastorf during the Iron-age;
All of this needs to be viewed of course within the broad archaic Indo-European context of
proto-Keltic and proto-Germanic;
Lichtenstein cave was part of the Urnfield culture complex - Unstrut-Gruppe;
Probably because Urnfield and Nordic bronze age went back to the same ancestor 4,500-5,000ybp so just 1,000-2,000 years before the two cultures strated. I think they go back to a Germanic Italo Celtic speaking father culture with R1b L11.
