Hello Hendrik,

Great beads!

It's not that I "don't like" the term "Migration Period"—it's more that I don't know how it is defined nor what is included or excluded from the name.

I accept that many people call these beads "Frankish," whether this is strictly true or not. Like any popular name, it is more appropriate in some contexts, and less so in others. And it's a regional name (like "Viking" beads in Scandinavia).
