The micro-region of the lower reaches of the River Sventoji in the Roman Iron Age falls into the range of flat cemeteries surrounded by stone circles. The territory to the north of the River Sventoji is considered the periphery of this culture, which has characteristic burial rites, one of which is the absence of stone circles. This peripheral culture in the territory of Latvia is described by using the results of the Mazkatuži (Rucava parish) cemetery investigations. The surviving research material and archival data about artefacts found in the lower reaches of the River Sventoji allow us to review and revise the data about burial rites and settlement structures in Kurzeme during the Roman Iron Age.

Michal Eustachy Brensztejn compiled the ‘Archaeological Inventory of the Kovno Gubernia’ in 1907. The manuscript was not published, and only in 2010 was it discovered in the archives of the State Archaeological Museum in Warsaw. The Lithuanian Institute of History and the State Archaeological Museum in Warsaw initiated a project to publish the ‘Inventory’ as the third part of the Ostbalticum project.This paper gives some preliminary insights and a short description of the manuscript as a source for Lithuanian archaeology. It analyses the sources used by Brensztejn, describes the process of identification of place-names, discusses the reliability of the records and the novelty of these data, and shows some characteristic mistakes that the author of the ‘Inventory’ made. A puzzle of artefact collection from Jagminai is presented as a brief case study. Thanks to the oral tradition recorded by Brensztejn, the identification of the site was possible.

michael Eustachy Brensztejn于1907年编纂了《科夫诺省考古目录》。这份手稿没有发表，直到2010年才在华沙国家考古博物馆的档案中被发现。立陶宛历史研究所和华沙国家考古博物馆发起了一个项目，出版“清单”，作为Ostbalticum项目的第三部分。本文给出了一些初步的见解，并简要描述了手稿作为立陶宛考古学的来源。分析了布伦斯特金所使用的地名来源，描述了地名识别的过程，讨论了这些记录的可靠性和这些数据的新颖性，并指出了《目录》作者所犯的一些典型错误。一个谜题的人工制品收集从贾米奈作为一个简短的案例研究提出。多亏了Brensztejn记录的口述传统，才有可能确定这个遗址。关键词:michael Eustachy Brensztejn，考古库存，科夫诺(考纳斯)省DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.15181/ ab.v1i0.1139

Since 2010, several archaeological sites in Lithuania have been geomagnetically surveyed, as part of a German-Lithuanian cooperation project. Within the framework of this cooperation, the Ėgliskiai/Anduliai cemetery, the Taurapilis barrow site, Taurapilis and Opstainiai/Vilkyskiai (outer settlements), and Jakai/Sudmantai (the enclosure) have been investigated. In almost all the sites, features and structures were detected that enable us to make some initial statements about the structure and dimensions of the archaeological monuments. For some sites, the surveys also provided very precise and hitherto unknown information about the context of the settlement. These new results show clearly the potential of non-invasive, especially geomagnetic, methods for archaeological purposes. However, it should be admitted that only a combination of several methods and tools enables a maximum level of knowledge and information on the scientific value and potential of archaeological sites and landscapes. The task for the coming years must therefore focus on the application and combination of further non-invasive geophysical (ground penetrating radar, electrical resistivity) and remote sensing methods in archaeological surveys.

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, during the Lithuanian national liberation movement, interest in the history of old Lithuania and its monuments peaked. Amateurs investigated hill-forts and cemeteries. These amateurs rarely saved artefacts or data from their excavations. One exception was the priest Juozapas Žiogas, who investigated over ten archaeological sites. Fr Žiogas formed an extensive archaeological collection, which is now held in the Ausra Museum in Siauliai.

The author discusses a few examples of artefacts that testify to the contacts between the Balts living in Samland (the Sambian Peninsula) and in the Memelkultur area during the Roman Iron Age. This data was collected from notes and drawings made by Herbert Jankuhn, Marta Schmiedehelm and Kurt Voigtmann. Archival data gives us a chance to interpret similarities in the fashion of wearing of necklaces of similar composition, or rings with similar nodular decoration during the Early Roman Period. The Memelkultur-style brooches found in Samland, and similar status symbols, such as snake-head rings, testify to the strong relations between the two Balt coastal areas during the Late Roman Period.

作者讨论了一些人工制品的例子，证明了在罗马铁器时代，生活在萨姆兰(萨姆比亚半岛)和梅梅尔文化地区的波罗的海人之间的联系。这些数据是从Herbert Jankuhn, Marta Schmiedehelm和Kurt Voigtmann的笔记和图纸中收集的。档案资料使我们有机会解释在早期罗马时期佩戴类似成分的项链或带有类似结节装饰的戒指的时尚的相似性。在萨姆兰发现的梅梅尔文化风格的胸针，以及类似的地位象征，如蛇头戒指，证明了罗马晚期两个波罗的海沿岸地区之间的密切关系。关键词:memelculture, Dollkeim-Kovrovo文化，Samland，相互接触，罗马时期，考古档案。DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.15181/ ab.v1i0.1135

The article summarises new investigations at the famous site of Linkuhnen and its material culture, which was excavated between 1928 and 1939, but never really published. The surviving finds from the cemetery, together with information collected from diverse archival sources, show a picture of a burial ground which was probably used from the second to the 11th century. The richness and the international references of the local material culture during the Viking Age point to an important role of the site in the network of trade and communication between the Baltic Sea, Scandinavia and Eastern Europe.

The paper analyses maiolica ceramic dishes from the late 16th and early 17th centuries found in Vilnius’ Old Town. The items in question were the first imported maiolica dishes in the town. They are classified and their production sites are identified on the basis of their technical and stylistic characteristics, and in accordance with foreign analogies. Thus, five plates are assigned to the Antwerp production centre, while the stylistic and manufacturing characteristics of another plate are found to be similar to the Haarlem and Antwerp maiolica production centres. One small bowl with religious inscriptions is assigned to the Faenza production centre in Italy. A fragment of a berrettino-type plate is associated with the Liguria region or Venice. The paper attempts to assess the significance of the first maiolica dishes in daily life in Vilnius in the late 16thand early 17th centuries. The relationship between the find spots and historical data suggests that four dishes could be associated with Catholic monasteries. During the period in question, maiolica ceramics were a rarity: they performed both an aesthetic and a luxury function; on three pieces of bottoms of plates, holes were found for hanging the plate on the wall. The information presented in the paper provides an opportunity to deepen our knowledge about maiolica dishes in Vilnius’ Old Town, which have not been investigated much, and to identify the prospects for further research.

In the course of archaeological excavations and supervision work in the historical centre of Rīga (Old Rīga), revetments built at various times along the former River Rīga or Rīdzene have so far been discovered in at least 11 sites, and revetments along the bank of the River Daugava have been found in at least three sites. The absolute age of stretches of revetment along both banks of the River Rīga (Rīdzene) and along the right bank of the River Daugava, discovered in the course of recent archaeological excavations, has been determined using the dendrochronological dating method. This article brings together the results obtained thus far in the dating of these structures. Although only some of the discovered stretches of historical waterfront have been dated, this information has given a significantly more precise picture of the building history of the waterfronts along the banks of both rivers, and thus also of the development of the historical ports of Rīga. This indicates the importance and necessity of continuing this research. Key words: Old Rīga, River Daugava, River Rīga or Rīdzene, waterfront revetments, dendrochronological dating.
