Tore,

what inventions of the Goths are you now refering to that came to
Gotland first?

I for one would not be surprised if there was contact between Gotland
and other places in Scandinavia and the Goths and other groups at the
south Baltic shores. The question is what was the nature of this
contact. Was there a big immigration? - probably not. Was there a
number of small migrations or better movements of small groups? I
think probably yes and probably even in both directions. Was there a
shift/transferal of some sort of a 'Gothic-tradition/identity' in
either direction? Again, I think probably yes.
