Same here. I've seen examples of skull deformation, but never anything indicating purposeful nasal deformation. Hun children probably fight alot and perhaps developing a boxer's nose happened early quite often and it was misinterpreted by archaeologists. Archaeologists misinterpretting information - nah that doesn't happen. 
hock: hock: :evil: .
BTW I agree with you Theodosius. The Goths were very capable and the sometimes problem with siegecraft is not because of lack of intelligence or technology. A lot of it also depends on the goal of the matter and the stage of the attack. Often Germanic groups when settling do not mass one overly large army and then begin attacking using only the original numbers. They often do not have the numbers originally to risk staying immobile for a long period of time until more ships arrive. That would give enemy factions time to get their courage and get organized for an assault. The Huns were much better when it came to dealing with supply lines than Germanics on the whole, true. Its definately a complex matter and one when could talk days about.
