Title: Continental.coast.150AD.Germanic.peoples
Credit: John Haywood's Dark Age Naval Power: Frankish & Anglo-Saxon Seafaring Activity (1999, ISBN 1-898281-43-2). The peoples are named in the text, with their locations shown on page 18. Also given in the text is the division between regions using clinker-built ships/boats and carvel-built ships/boats, with the dividing line at the Rhine River (which itself was in the carvel-built ship/boat-building region, from the Lower Rhine through the Middle Rhine). Use Tacitus' Germania for Canninefates placement. The topographic map is from DEMIS map server, appropriately tagged Template:Demis-pd prior to any modification. All modifications and annotations done by myself.
