81. NorFA Modelling of the specific and sensitive coastal areas of the baltic Sea. This means that the coastal region has an enormous research potential, http://arhipel.hiiumaa.ee/norfa/

The aim of the NorFA Nordic-Baltic network "Modelling of specific and sensitive coastal areas of the Baltic Sea" is to co-ordinate and support interdisciplinary research and post-graduate studies in the Baltic region. Special notice is taken to past, present and future environment in specific and sensitive coastal areas. Key areas are chosen to represent various coastal types, shore displacement rates and cultural history. Some areas outside the Baltic Sea proper have been included since they affect the inflow of water to the Baltic basin from the west. These include the west coast of Sweden, eastern Denmark and southern Norway. The new political situation in the Baltic States, and northwestern Russia, has resulted in an opening of the former, for military reasons, closed coastal areas. The closed situation has sometimes resulted in that the coastal zone has been more or less unaffected by civil human activities. This means that the coastal region has an enormous research potential, especially regarding the natural history of the Baltic and prehistoric human activities. A documentation of the present state of the coastal areas will make it possible to study how future utilisation will affect the landscape. In specific sites the military bases, however, have caused large stress on the environment by e.g. pollution and construction works. An interdisciplinary approach might increase the understanding of how the stress has affected the nature and gives insights of how to delimit the negative effects.

Return to Papers and Abstracts Return to Events EAA98 - Session on Aerial Archaeology Göteborg, Thursday, 24 September 1998, 1430 - 1900 by Robert Bewley The European Association of Archaeologists is a new but growing body of archaeologists whose interests cover the academic and professional side of European archaeology. The conference aims to bring these two important elements of the discipline together. Robert Bewley (RCHME)was asked by the conference organisers to run a session on aerial archaeology. At the EAA conference in Latvia in 1996 there had been a general session on reports of aerial surveys in Europe so for 1998 a specific theme, 'Heritage Management', was chosen. The abstracts which follow did, in the main, keep to this theme. The topic was chosen because of the number of senior ("suited") archaeologists present at the conference and who are in a position to promote more aerial survey in Europe. Aerial archaeology has been expanding at a steady rate since 1945 but the last decade has seen an exponential rise in the quantity, quality and range of reconnaissance, mapping and interpretation. As a sub-discipline of archaeology it needs to explore the philosophical and ideological concepts which underpin its approach.

home Baltic Flint (Dresden Region) Material name: Baltic Flint Synonyms: Nordic Flint, Morainic flint, Erratic Flint Material (geologic): Glacially transported Upper Cretaceous and Danian Flint Foto: Matthias Rummer, 2002 Sampled sites: Klotzsche top home General characteristics Geographical setting: Dresden, the second largest city after Berlin in Eastern Germany, is located 30 km North of the German-Czech border on the river Elbe. Nested in a wide, cauldron-formed valley, just North of the Ore Mountains and the "Elbsandsteingebirge", it lies at the edge of the land-ice cover of the Elster glacial. The so called flint-line (" Feuersteinlinie " in the German literature), which marks the southernmost dispersion of glacially transported baltic flint, runs across the uplands a few kilometres south of the Elbe-valley. Most glacial deposits in the area are Sandur-sands, the so called " Heidesande " dating to Saale 1 Glacial, that contain hardly any pebbles or blocks and are virtually flint-free. Only in patches older (Elster) and mostly coarser sediments have been preserved, but there are hardly any permanent exposures. In prehistoric times this might have been different, but the region will never have been extremely rich in flint. Material and colour: If you wondered why this page took so long to load completely, scroll down, and you'll see the reason. As this is the first page we put up on the subject of Erratic Flint, we wanted to show the complete range of varieties of Baltic material, which is quite wide.

@import "http://viking.hgo.se/style_huvud.css"; NILS BLOMKVIST Yet Another Viking Archetype - The Medieval Urbanist As a keyword, the "Viking" today tends to signify social and economic development in dark age Scandinavia as well as on the British isles, in the Low Countries, Russia and so forth. But who were the Vikings? What did they represent? Sailors and pirates? Yes. Colonizers and nation builders? Yes, that too - and even merchants and town builders, depending on whom you are asking. The traditional explanation was the centre-peripheral one. In its simplest form it claimed that the savages of the North picked up progressive ideas while attacking more developed neighbours only to be pacified with the help of Christendom, and reduced to their proper insignificant historical role as Scandinavians. The stimulating lectures this morning on urban archaeology and early urbanization in north-western Europe have again shown that the "Viking achievement" does not follow such a simple pattern of explanation. As a historian with a "holistic" and interdisciplinary disposition -including some experience of archaeological work - I am anxious that we should not only study the separate towns or sites and by comparing them establish a non-Roman, Germanic or Viking Age type of town; but that we should also pay attention to the role of the towns in the large scale development of the period, which includes the establishment of states and some sort of commodity market in these parts of the world. More specifically I mean that we should never entirely forget the question that Henri Pirenne raised long ago about interaction between the economic worlds of Islam and Western Europe. Even if a lot of what has been said in this ever lasting dispute is rather obsolete, the fundamental questions must be saved for our new era of "world economies" la Fernand Braudel and Immanuel Wallerstein.

The Burial Cairns and the Landscape in the Archipelago of  boland, SW Finland, in the Bronze Age and the Iron Age Prev Chapter 9. On Continuity, Settlement, and Subsistence Next 9.3. Cairns: a Coastal Archaeology View There are presumably approximately 10000 cairns on the coast of Finland (Salo et al . Quite a few of those date from the Bronze Age, but in a large part of the coast the cairn remained the most common type of burial far in the Iron Age. According to C.F. Meinander, there are cairns in all coastal elevation zones in southern Ostrobothnia, which provides firm evidence of the continuity of settlement from the Bronze Age to the Pre-Roman Iron Age. In the Nordic countries cairns have been in the Early Iron Age more predominant in Ostrobothnia than anywhere else, which, according to Meinander, indicates an independent tradition in the region (Meinander 1977: 23). The distributions of the grave site elevations in Middle Ostrobothnia, collected by Ari Siiri¤inen, demonstrate that the Bronze-Age burial cairns are located higher up in the terrain than those from the Iron Age, and that there are graves which have been constructed after the Iron Age (Siiri¤inen 1978). Also on the coast of Satakunta the tradition of cairns continued until the Iron Age, at least until the Late Roman Iron Age but after that the finds are sparse (Salo 1970). So far, it has been possible to date only four graves in the Viking Age (R¤ty 1992).

94. The Most Ancient Populations Of Latvia In the population of Latvia and the rest of the baltic region, In the territoryaround the baltic region, the most ancient clay vessels have been found http://vip.latnet.lv/hss/denisova.htm

Raisa Denisova THE MOST ANCIENT POPULATION OF LATVIA The first arrival of people in the Eastern Baltic region (and in all of Northern Europe) was dependent upon the Scandinavian glacier. Its very slow retreat occurred as the result of climactic shifts which took place over the course of several millennia and were still ongoing in the late Paleolithic period. At that time, the Scandinavian glacier still covered a fairly vast territory: the lowlands of Central Europe, Scandinavia, Finland, the Eastern Baltic region, and Northwestern Russia, including the Karelian peninsula and territories to its East. The melting of the Scandinavian glacier is divided into several climactic periods by specialists. The cold Driassian period was replaced two times by warmer periods (Belling and Allerod) which facilitated the gradual retreat and melting of the glacier. In the population of Latvia and the rest of the Baltic region, the decisive factor was the ancient Europeans who first came into the Central European lowlands from which the glacier had retreated. This territory stretches from the Netherlands to the lower reaches of the Vistula and Niemen rivers and borders the North Sea and the Baltic Sea. Further East the territory meets the Pripet basin, as well as the upper Dnieper and Daugava rivers. During the Driassian The first humans arrived in the Middle European lowlands in the late Paleolithic period, and over the course of many generations they gradually populated the farthest reaches of Northern Europe, including the Eastern Baltic. Several thousand years passed between the arrival of the first humans in the Middle European lowlands and the arrival of the first residents of the Eastern Baltic. This is particularly true of Latvia and Estonia, although the first humans arrived in southern and especially southeastern Lithuania much earlier than was the case in the rest of the Baltic region.

About the Foundation Board of Trustees Grant process Contact us Joint Azov Archaeological Excavation Project Open Russia Foundation Helps Open up Southern Russia's History Thor Heyerdahl, the late Norwegian explorer of Kon-Tiki, Ra and Tigris fame and perhaps the best-known Norwegian of the second half of the twentieth century, was the founder of the Joint Azov Archaeological Excavation project that started in 2001. That year, he assembled a team of Russian archaeologists and specialists from the Institute of Archaeology at the State University of Rostov-on-Don and the Azov Regional Museum under the leadership of Professor Sergey Lukiashko. Dr. Heyerdahl also brought a team of Western archaeologists from Norway, Sweden, and the United Kingdom, led by Dr. J Bjørnar Storfjell. Early in the planning stages for the second season of excavation, Dr. Heyerdahl had applied for a grant from the Open Russia Foundation to fund the co-operative research project. Thanks to their generous grant to the Thor Heyerdahl Research Centre, the Open Russia Foundation enabled the archaeological team to continue their investigation into the cultural history of this small city whose name appeared to be mentioned in Old Norse sagas. Many burial mounds have been excavated in Southern Russia, but only a very limited number of settlement sites. As a result of receiving funding for this project, a group of archaeologists and other specialists was able to assemble on 21 May 2002 in the far south of Russia, on the left bank of the River Don less than ten kilometres from the Azov Sea for the second time in two years.
