Indeed, the first written source suggesting that Slavic tribes established themselves in what is now Slovakia is connected to the migration of the Germanic Heruli from the Middle Danube region towards Scandinavia in 512.[14][15] In that year, according to Procopius, they first passed "through the land of the Slavs", most probably along the river Morava.[16] A cluster of archaeological sites in the valleys of the rivers Morava, Váh and Hron also suggests that at the latest the earliest Slavic settlements appeared in the territory around 500 AD.[17][18] They are characterized by vessels similar to those of the "Mogiła" group of southern Poland and having analogies in the "Korchak" pottery of Ukraine.[19] ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-4786.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-4786.txt
