In 2020, rescue excavations due to construction of a pipeline connecting Poland and Lithuania took place at the Bronze Age sites Tarbiškės 1 2, eastern Lithuania, both dated 1050–900 cal BC. They revealed rather homogeneous archaeological assemblage which fills gap in development culture economy southeastern Baltic. Ware, from typological as well chronological point view, stands an intermediate position linking Trzciniec pottery with Žalioji Early Striated Wares. Macrobotanical analysis...
This article explores the finds and post-excavation reports of earlier archaeological investigations in five Kernavė hillforts. The detailed analysis assembled finds, discovered features structures made it possible to revise improve prieviously suggested evolution model for It reveals hillforts have been much more complicated that, over time, their function has changed rather significantly than once. recovered during excavations were not classified into primary, secondary de facto refuse....

This paper integrates archaeological, environmental and isotopic data from Roman Iron Age (1–400 AD) settlements in Lithuania to present an updated framework for understanding the development of farming agricultural landscapes during this period. The study dates introduction new crop species, such as rye oats, around 100–200 cal AD. Notably, quickly became one most economically important crops, coinciding with adoption infield-outfield cultivation system. system combined intensively farmed...
Piliakalnių įtvirtinimai aprėpia ne tik gynybinę, bet ir socialinio statuso išraiškos funkciją, todėl jų įrengimo darbai, mastas galėtų būti svarbus požymis bandant išskirti galios centrus gyvenviečių sistemoje. Vadovaujantis šiuo požiūriu, straipsnyje analizuojami XIII–XIV a. Kernavės pilies, susidedančios iš keturių atskirų piliakalnių, bei juos įrengiant atlikti reljefo transformavimo darbai.
