Title:
Current Research into the Archaeology of the Baltic Region
Content:
The session Current Research into the Archaeology of the Baltic Region Iron Age is intended to be a kind of overview of the recent and current research, studies and research projects concerning the archaeology of the Balts and their neighbours. The archaeology of the Baltic region is understood here as an archaeology of Baltic cultural circle – Baltic rim. The chronology for expected contributing papers is supposed to start with the Bronze Age/Iron Age and ends with the collapse of the tribal institutions in that area in the 13th century.
We are interested mostly in papers presenting new research projects and results of the studies on the widely understood cultural development in the context of Baltic region.
The papers on methodology, chronology and typology of the Baltic region archaeological sites and artefacts are highly welcomed. Fundamental questions about the cultural development, intercultural and cross-cultural relations of the Baltic people, and different issues concerning the civilization development will be discussed in this section.
