Hi Ingemar,

we must have read a different book! Hachmann clearly states that the 
Goths were the bearers of the Wilbark/Willenberg culture/i.e. the 
Masovian group and he shows, as have many archaeologists after him, 
that this culture is not derived or significantly influenced by 
Scandinavian cultures, but is indigious to the area and developed from 
earlier cultures, i.e. the Oxthoefte culture, which in turn is 
strongly influenced and most closely related to the Przeworsk culture.

cheers,

Dirk
