Re: Hunnic material, anyone have any thoughts or opinions on Lotte Hedeager's argument for Huns in 5thC Scandinavia? Seems polarising! :)
For those who've not read, here's Hedeager's article arguing for Huns in Scand: http://www.academia.edu/5352394/Scandinavia_and_the_Huns_an_Interdisciplinary_Approach_to_the_Migration_Era … Book version:https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=3XCrAgAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&output=html_text …
Fwiw, it's def interesting, but convincing? & are those earrings def 5thC Hunnic, as if so, there's at least 1 poss example from Britain...
