[gothic-l] Re: Christianisation of Crimean Goths

[dirk at SMRA.CO.UK]

Dear Andreas,

thanks for all the links. Unfortunately, so far I could not get them 
to work but will try to find the literature. 

Aleksandr Aibabin (Simfereopol) wrote in 'Sto Let Chernyakhovskogo 
Cultura' (I only have a bad copy in Russian with an incomplete 
reference):

Aibabin said that the Germanic settlement of the Crimean at the end of 
the first half of the 3rd century significantly changed the 
ethno-political make-up of the Crimean peninsula. ..... Germanic 
tribesmen pushed into the Crimean after Roman garrisons started to 
withdraw in the 240s AD to bolster the Danubian frontier, thus 
benefitting from the Roman withdrawal

.... In the middle of the 3rd century the new cemetaries of Chatirdg, 
Ai-todor, Partenit and Chernaya reka start, which are closely 
associated with the Germanic settlement on the Crimean peninsula. ....


Also, an author Igor Pioro "O Chernyakhovskoi kulturi na krimu" wrote 
in 2000 that 

"... Germanic urn and incremation burrials on Crimean start in the 
middle of the 3rd century AD. These can be found in the graveyards of 
Sovkhos Sevastopolskii, Chernaya reka, Belbek I, in the oblast' of 
Chersones and Ai-Todor, as well as Chatirdag and several others. 
....In these Chernyakov-type cemetaries all characteristics of the 
general incremation practice is presnent which reflects traditions of 
the Wielbark as well as the Przeworsk cultures.....

The distribution of the mid-3rd century Chernyakov-type cemetaries on 
the Crimean together with documentary evidence and the fact that the 
Germanic language was attested into the 15th (sic!) century, supports 
the thesis that the Chernyakovsk-type graves should be attibuted to 
Germanic settlers. .....


(all my translations)


cheers,

Dirk
