[gothic-l] The Gothic Heritage

[Bertil Haggman]

SMC,

Checked out the link and found it an excellent introduction.
Highly recommendable to beginners and a fine work.
Of course you are correct in assuming a Scandinavian
origin of the Goths. It is the migrational technique that
is differently viewed. Earlier scholarship believed
mainly in mass migration, now there the aspect of smaller
groups crossing the Baltic Sea during centuries.

No objections to the website you mention.
