 Goths
In Poland, the material culture associated with these Goths (or better Gotones) is typically identified with the Wielbark/Willenberg culture[2] (http://www.muzarp.poznan.pl/archweb/gazociag/title5.htm).
During the late Nordic Bronze Age and early Pre-Roman Iron Age (ca 600 BC - ca 300 BC), this area had strong influences from southern Scandinavia, which made the Wielbark culture closely related to that of southern Sweden[3] (http://www.arkeologi.uu.se/publications/opia/gothicabstract.htm).
During this period the warm and dry climate of southern Scandinavia (2-3 degrees warmer than today) deteriorated considerably, which not only dramatically changed the flora, but forced people to change their way of living and to leave settlements.
