Abstract
Abstract Gothic migrations have been repeatedly discussed by historians, archaeologists, anthropologists, and linguists, with the literature on the subject comprising over 1,400 articles and monographs. The interpretation of the notion of Goths has evolved from seeing them as a nation to a multi-ethnic formation. Archaeology therefore distinguishes four Gothic cultures: the Wielbark culture, the Masłomęcz group, the Tschernjachov culture and the Sântana de Mureş culture. DNA tests may support the thesis about multiple multiplicity. The pretext for writing this text is a publication of 2019. In part, it was based on untrue materials. Interpretation of the obtained results is in contradiction with the current state of knowledge about the chronology of the analysed materials. The conclusions of a historical nature are contrary to the entire scientific output of historians and archaeologists.
历史学家、考古学家、人类学家和语言学家一直在反复讨论哥特人的迁徙问题,有关这一主题的文献包括1400多篇文章和专著。对哥特人概念的解释已经从把他们看作一个民族演变成一个多民族的组织。因此,考古学区分了四种哥特式文化:Wielbark文化,Masłomęcz群体,Tschernjachov文化和santana de mureek文化。DNA测试可能支持多重性的论点。写这篇文章的借口是2019年的出版物。在某种程度上,它是基于不真实的材料。对所得结果的解释与目前对所分析材料年表的认识状态相矛盾。历史性质的结论与历史学家和考古学家的全部科学成果是相反的。
