25. Environmental And Cultural History Of The Baltic Region In the baltic Sea region, the deglaciation of the last ice sheet started neotectonic PACT 47 Scientific Methods in Underwater archaeology (1995). http://arhipel.hiiumaa.ee/norfa/lund.html

Environmental and cultural history of the Baltic region Environmental modelling of the sensitive and specific coastal areas of the Baltic Sea through time Department of Quaternary Research, Stockholm University, SE-106 91 STOCKHOLM The environmental and cultural history of the Baltic basin has been a dynamic, sometimes violent, interaction between nature, environment, people and culture. In the Baltic Sea region, the deglaciation of the last ice sheet started neotectonic processes, as land uplift and subsidence, resulting in regressive, and sometimes transgressive phases of shore displacement. During the last 12,000 years the Baltic Sea has been fresh, brackish and saline, and there has been extraterrestrial impact caused by meteorite. The changing shoreline and configuration of the emerging islands is specific for the northern part of the Baltic Sea, where the archipelagos with thousands of rocky islands dominate. The southern part of the Baltic is characterised by a few large islands of calcareous bedrock. Common for the coastal areas is the threatening pollution and eutrophication, caused by dense population, industry and tourism. The interdisciplinary collaboration within the PACT Palaeoecological Network was concentrated on the Mediterranean and Nordic countries in the 1980's. During the 'glasnost' and continuing with the decomposition of the Soviet Union, there started an intense information, training and research programme in the Baltic States and other East European countries from the beginning of 1990's.

28. The Ecology Of The Northern Crusades The crusades waged against pagans in the baltic region from the 12th16th Warsaw Institute of archaeology and Ethnology, Polish Academy of Sciences. http://www.beasts-in-the-woods.org/ecology.html

This is the provisional website for the research project 'The Ecology of the Northern Crusades'. It is still in the process of being updated, but contains basic summaries of various aspects of the project below. Po polsku Introduction The crusades waged against pagans in the Baltic region from the 12th-16th centuries AD proved far more successful than those fought in the Middle East. They had a significant impact on the region and are fundamental to understanding the development and consolidation of a European society, united under Christianity. One of the most important forces behind the conquest and colonisation of this north European frontier was the Teutonic Order, a group that in retrospect has left a profound social, political, agrarian and ecological legacy. However, virtually all studies of the Order’s activities in this frontier region have focused on military, bureaucratic and – in the case of castles – architectural and engineering aspects. The Order’s impact on the environment – its ‘ecological role’ – has been largely neglected. This project aims to address this fundamental gap in our understanding of the cultural transformations in the medieval Baltic. The first part of this project (2005) focuses on Marienburg or Malbork Castle , the headquarters of the Order in medieval Prussia. Drawing on ongoing excavations at the castle, it will entail detailed analyses of recovered faunal assemblages alongside environmental reconstruction based on palaeobotanical evidence. These archaeological findings will then be integrated with extant iconographic and written sources relating to the site. Once completed, the Malbork project will represent a detailed case study of environmental exploitation by the Teutonic Order within the heartland of the monastic state. This study will establish a foundation for a broader inter-regional project exploring the ‘ecological role’ of the Teutonic Order and associated crusading institutions in the medieval Baltic. The ultimate aim is to examine the impact of Christianisation and colonisation on human uses and perceptions of the natural world in this region.

Updated April 27, 1998 Version Trade and Communication within the Neolithic Funnel Beaker Culture (TRB) of the Baltic Region By Schleswig, Germany Presented at the 63 rd Annual Meeting of the Society for American Archaeology in the symposium: Prehistoric communication: The first wheels, roads, metals, and monumental architecture . Friday, March 27, 1998 in Seattle, Washington, USA. I'm going to talk about some aspects of prehistory in good old Europe in terms of a radiocarbon based chronology for the period between 3500 to 3000 B.C. The Neolithic cultures of the North Middle European lowlands mainly used raw materials, which were sufficiently available in the respective regions. An exception was copper which, however, was very seldom used in the funnel beaker culture. Other exceptions were amber and in some areas flint. Flint played a predominant role for the production of stone age equipment. It is a material that is easy to work with, which can be knapped excellently into the desired form; it can also be furnished with a polished surface where necessary and has sharp cutting functional edges. Alternative materials with comparable functions such as volcanic glass, e.g. obsidian, or other silicone stones such as chert occur very rarely in the dispersal areas of the funnel beaker culture and then only in very small amounts. Therefore, they are just of local significance. Moreover, flint is the most important raw material for stone tools during the funnel beaker culture.

Chronology The German term Stichbandkeramik is abbreviated STK. The English translation is Stroked or better Stroke-Ornamented Pottery culture (cf. Bogucki 1988). It is a later regional variant of the Danubian LBK Chronological Table ). The STK is sometimes suggested to be related to Lengyel . Based on stratigraphic evidence and seriation of pottery ornaments, an overlapping succession with regional variation from the Late LBK Hinkelstein Großgartach , Plaining-Friedberg, and Rössen is likely (Raetzel-Fabian 1986:45, 47-49, Spatz 1996). Radiocarbon dates for the STK range between ca. 5000 – 4500 cal BC (

Information Related to "The Geography of Celtic-Scythian Commerce" Free subscription to the Good News magazine Chapter 4 : The geography of Celtic-Scythian commerce T he trading patterns of the Celts of forested Northwestern Europe and the Scythians of the eastern plains is revealing. The highways of trade and travel in antiquity were the rivers and seas. Celts and Scythians were adept at traveling the waterways. Neighboring peoples regarded the Saka Scythians who lived by the Caspian Sea as great fishermen. They were prodigious consumers of fish. As a result, some of them were called the Apa-saca, meaning the water Saca. To the west the Celtic Veneti tribe had become a maritime power with more than 220 large oak vessels-whose cross timbers were a foot wide and secured by iron spikes as thick as a man's thumb. Their stronghold was in the western French peninsula of Brittany on Quiberon Bay. According to Roman sources, the Veneti traded not only along the coasts of Gaul, but for tin with Britain and Ireland. Both Celts and Scythians exhibited exceptional skill in river and naval navigation, even as early as the last half of the first millennium B.C. Both groups had been deeply involved in river and sea commerce from the beginning of their appearance on the Eurasian steppes.

40. BSP: Newsletter 98:2:p04 To The Reader: Maritime Archaelogy In The Baltic - Balt Maritime archaeology in the baltic. aims in the baltic region to realise theintimate relationships between nature and cultural history in the area. http://www.bspnews.kiss.pl/bspnews/982/982-04.htm

BSP Newsletter No. 98:2:p04 To the Reader Maritime Archaeology in the Baltic. Geological Background: In many ways the Baltic area is unique in an archaeological sense. The basis is found in nature. Although there are great differences in the quaternary geology between roughly the north and the south there are indeed some factors which are shared by all parts of the Baltic. Another important difference concerns the waterfront zones. In Finland and most of Sweden they consist mainly of constant features such as rocks and boulders, and in the south -Denmark, Germany, Poland and to some extent Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, sedimentary action is dominant. Thus the coasts are certainly transformed by natural factors in both main areas, but in different ways: One by way of land uplift, the other by wave erosion (abrasion) and replacement/ build up. Internationally a unique factor would also be the archipelagos with large numbers of continuous small rock island chains which litter the coasts at several places. The archipelagos of Stockholm, the à land islands and south western Finland are justly considered famous. But there are others as well in the baltic. All of them have been settled or are still settled as an important part of Baltic Maritime culture, based on the exploitation of the natural sources of the Baltic Sea. As a lonely and just possible parallel the Hudson Bay skerries of Canada could be cites, but they are different in character, uninhabited and almost totally sub arctic.
