Europe has been much discussed in recent times. Direct interference and presence of Hunnic military forces in Scandinavia have even been considered, which are said to have caused manifold cultural reorientation. However, a critical review of the archaeological material shows that direct impact of the Hun “period” on social and ritual behaviour was present in only a few respects in Scandinavia. Rather, the same cultural orientation to the South and Southeast is detected at the end of the 4th century and in the first half of the 5th century AD, which was already apparent with multiple connections in phases C2 and C3, especially to the Northern Pontus region. Furthermore, this orientation can also be defined by Scandinavian finds in the post-Hunnic Danubian region, during the second half of the 5th century and the beginning of the 6th century.
