The bearers of the culture were probably Peucini , a group of the probably Germanic Bastarnen (the linguistic assignment of the Bastarnen to the Germanic peoples is uncertain and sometimes controversial).

Traces of the Poieneşti-Lukaševka culture can be found on the lower Dniester and east of the Carpathian Mountains .
Important sites were the burial grounds at Poieneşti ( Vaslui district ), Lukaschewka and Dolinjany ( Bukowina ).
Emergence
The Poieneşti-Lukaschewka culture evidently emerged from the northern Germanic Jastorf and Przeworsk cultures with the influence of the Celtic La Tène culture .
A reference to the culture of the neighboring Geten could not be established. Balkan-Illyrian elements are also missing, which indicates that this must be a population group that was not directly affected by the third Macedonian-Roman war . That is true of the Peucini . The term Peucini is derived from a peninsula on the Black Sea above the mouth of the Danube.
In fact, it is only documented that from the 2nd century BC onwards it was There were Bastarn mercenaries in Macedonia, but the Bastarnen went on raids in Thrace, northern Greece and especially in the eastern Greek colonies with Roxolans and partly with Dacians. Roman chroniclers often referred to them as Scythians, a common collective name for tribes in the region at that time. Later most of the Bastarnen were settled in Thrace as Roman federates .
Settlements
