[gothic-l] Germanic Migrations

[bertil]

Dirk,

Thank you for this info. When did the excavations
take place and what conclusions did the archaelogists
draw from the results: that the origin of the
Germanic peoples was in Saxe-Anhalt and Thuringia
or did they speculate on an earlier migration
from Scandinavia?

Meanwhile I wish you a happy Halloween or allhelgona-
helg, whatever your preference is.
