Russian and Ukrainian archaeologists seem to dispute this nowadays.
There has been no trace of Germanic (Chernyakhovsk) cultural remains
in the area north of the Sea of Azov. Instead, there has been plenty
of evidence that Sarmatians and Alans living there. It is probably
more reasonable to assume that the Eastern Heruls lived further west
of the Black Sea (Moldova?), perhaps in the same region as the
Eudosiani, together with whom they may have reached the area in the
first place.
