*****GK: As the various Sarmatian groups moved from
east to west, sometimes sequentially, sometimes
hopscotch, they maintained an archaeologically
discernible identity (i.e. for all the specific
differences there is no problem in recognizing a
Hungarian burial and a Caspian burial as basically
"Sarmatian".) If a "Sarmatian" group arrived in
Thuringia sometime around year 0 give or take, there
should be some evidence of this. Where is it? You
wouldn't by any chance be trying to reopen the Snorri
fantasy issue again would you?****
