The Baltic Connection - Part 2 - Ah Ha I say...

"It is to be expected that Curonian weapons and ornaments would be found all
over the western Baltic Sea coasts to Denmark. That they reached Gotland even
before the wars with Denmark is shown by a number of Curonian pins, fibulae and
swords dating from the tenth century. These articles have been found in various
places along the coasts of Gotland. Some are isolated finds, but some come from
graves. In Hugleifs near Silte a woman’s grave containing typically Curonian
ornaments was discovered, including a fibula similar to the one illustrated on
this page. Other Curonian finds on Gotland were pins with triangular or cross
shaped heads, and swords such as are found in great numbers in western
Lithuania, particularly around Klaipėda and Kretinga. Whether these isolated
finds are merely imports from Curonia or the relics of a Curonian colony on
Gotland is difficult to tell, but the grave at Hugleifs certainly proves the
presence of some Curonians on the island. Other Baltic finds on Gotland, and in
Uppland and Öland in central Sweden, point to commercial relations during the
tenth and eleventh centuries. A fragment of a silver neck-ring with
saddle-shaped end, which is a widely distributed type in central and eastern
parts of Lithuania and Latvia, was found on Gotland (Boters near Gerum) together
with Arab, Byzantine, German and Anglo-Saxon coins. Another neck-ring of the
same type comes from Öland.4"

So it seems I was not the first to make the connection!
