“…The charcoal samples for these dates could had been collected from ambiguous contexts. More reliable data was collected in the Latvian coastal zone, specifically in Krievu kalns (Tln-3519: 2779 ± 50, or cal BC 1047-821 (2σ)) and Padure (LE-6682: 2890 ± 100, or cal BC 1381-837 (2σ)) hilltop settlements (Vasks et al 2011;Doniņa et al 2014). Charcoal samples from the hearth and a posthole provided reliable archaeological context with the only drawback being the lack of identification of wood species and age estimation.…”

Emergence of Hilltop Settlements in the Southeastern Baltic: New AMS¹⁴C Dates from Lithuania and Revised Chronology

The emergence of hilltop settlements presents a pattern of the first enclosed sites that reflect economic development in several regions within the Southeastern Baltic Bronze Age. This novelty reflects increasing social complexity, differentiating economic relations, as well as rising tension in the region. The phenomenon has received a great deal of interpretation, but chronological problems still remain understudied. Researchers tend to seek the start of hilltop settling practice from early to late II millennium BC. This paper presents 14C dates from 7 sites in inland Lithuania, where hitherto no absolute dates were published. The majority of absolute dates has been calibrated to the Hallstatt radiocarbon calibration plateau (ca. 800–400 cal BC) which is significantly later than previously presumed based on dates from Belarusian sites. However, several dates from previously dated hilltop settlements in the region predate the effect. These results indicate the start of hilltop settling practice around 11th–9th centuries cal BC. Review of new and previously published radiocarbon dates suggests a different internal development between SE Baltic coastal and inland regions, likely locating zones, where economic outside stimulus preconditioning emergence of hilltop settlements occurred earlier.

“…In Scandinavia, Germany and the Lusatian culture in Poland, cattle remains are generally more abundant than in Lithuania, accounting for 40%-60% of the total faunal remains. In western Lithuania, western Latvia and continental Estonia, the proportion of cattle is also higher than in eastern Lithuania, with the percentage being around 30% or more (Graudonis 1989;Harding 2000;Kveiborg 2018;Maldre 2008;Micelicaitė et al 2023;Vasks et al 2011 and.…”

This paper presents the findings of a research project aimed at reconstructing the subsistence economy of the Late Bronze Age communities in eastern Lithuania. We focused on examining archaeobotanical and zooarchaeological assemblages from three hillforts alongside δ13C and δ15N stable isotope analysis of plant and animal remains. Our results suggest that local populations primarily relied on growing domestic plants and animals for their subsistence. By the Late Bronze Age, they had already adopted a diverse package of cultivated plants, with barley and millet being the main crops. Also, inhabitants relied on pig and goat/sheep as a primary source for their protein intake. Finally, δ13C and δ15N measurements suggest that farmers engaged in intensive agriculture with semi-permanent field systems and moderate application of manure.

“…Остеологические материалы слишком малы для более широких комментариев, но римский период отличался повышенным количеством костей диких животных. Материал расколотых (сеченых) метаподиев показывает технологию разделки туш, схожую с другими регионами и периодами (Vasks et al, 2011;Daugnora et al, 2014). Датирование зубов лошадей могло бы уточнить период: например, у конского зуба из Лаздининкай (возраст коня около 4,5 лет) дата AMS показывает II-III вв., римский железный век.…”

В книге представлены результаты раскопок Самбийской экспедиции ИА РАН 2005-2016 гг. Поселения пруссов VI-XIV вв. и предшествующие им поселения эстиев исследовались широкой площадью при строительстве автодороги и хранилищ газа. Описываются находки от каменных терочников и лепных горшков до роскошных золотых украшений с мифологическими сюжетами; древние колодцы, остатки построек, приводятся данные радиоуглеродного датирования, а также реконструируются природные условия по данным споровопыльцевого анализа.
