Markers of Gothicness (*Gutarbi?)

[Michael Erwin]

I'd like to see what proportion of the people of Moesia Secunda and  
Scythia Minor considered themselves Goths, vs. how many considered  
themselves Romans, both, or neither. If the provinces were mostly  
'Roman' certain historical interpretations follow; if it was mostly  
non-Roman or largely Gothic, other ones follow instead.

Chernyakhov wheel-made pottery basically resembles Roman wheel-made  
pottery so it's not an important way of asserting identity. Burial  
patterns and clothing styles strike me as more useful (potential)  
markers and I'm wondering if anyone can outline/introduce the lit. on  
the subject, ideally comparing Chernyakhov patterns, late Roman  
patterns, and northern Balkan patterns.
