Humans and horses in the Late Roman Period - Late Migration Period (3rd-7th centuries) in Lithuania
This paper presents a study analysing the mobility and possible immigration of humans and horses in Lithuania in the Late Roman Period – Migration Period (3rd–7th centuries AD), based on 87Sr/86Sr stable isotopes analysis. During the study, we carried out strontium analysis of 40 human teeth from 11 burial sites and 13 horses from six burial sites. In addition, to reconstruct bioavailable 87Sr/86Sr ranges, we analysed 87Sr/86Sr of 41 animals from…
Late Roman and Migration Period elites from Lithuania - locals or migrants? Reinterpretation of the current concept based on 87Sr/86Sr stable isotope analysis
Chronological considerations for the use of the Late Roman–Migration period Cemetery at Plinkaigalis, Lithuania
This study presents new (n=32) and previously published (n=35) human bone 14 C AMS dates from 54 individuals interred in 50 burials in the Plinkaigalis cemetery (3rd–7th century AD, Lithuania). The aim of this study is to establish duration of use and identify temporal subgroups within the cemetery. Individuals in group burials were assessed for temporal agreement across individuals and the dates for individuals with multiple dates were combined …
Human diet in Lithuania during the Late Roman and Migration periods ( ca. 200–700 AD) based on stable carbon and nitrogen isotope data
In this study, 71 human individuals were subjected to stable carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) isotope analysis of bone collagen samples for the purpose of determining human dietary patterns in Lithuania during the Late Roman and Migration periods. More specifically, based on the isotopic data, the aim was to determine and evaluate any potential dietary differences between individuals on the basis of their sex, age, social status and place of res…
New Human Bone Radiocarbon Dates From the Roman Period–migration Period Lithuanian Cemeteries
A set (n = 37) of new human bone radiocarbon accelerator mass spectrometry ( 14 C AMS) dates from 11 Lithuanian Late Roman Period–Migration Period cemeteries is presented and discussed in the light of the established schemes of archaeological chronology. The focus of the paper is on the burials of the military and social elite, which indicate the emergence of new cultural traditions in E–S and W–Central Lithuania or the immigration that took plac…
Horses in Lithuania in the Late Roman–Medieval Period (3rd–14th C AD) Burial Sites
The tradition of burying horses in Lithuania lasted from the Early Roman period until the late 14th C AD. It was the longest-lasting custom in Europe, which has left about 2000 known horse burials. This paper publishes the osteometric data and age of horses found in Lithuanian cemeteries and castles of the 3rd–14th C AD, over 200 individuals in total. These are the remains of all the horses still stored in Lithuanian institutions. The paper discu…
The Origin of Late Roman Period–Post-Migration Period Lithuanian Horses
In this paper, we present the 87Sr/86Sr data of 13 samples from horses from six Lithuanian burial sites dating from the 3rd to the 7th C AD. Alongside these data, we also publish the bioavailable 87Sr/86Sr data of 15 Lithuanian archaeological sites, based on 41 animals which enabled the construction of a reliable baseline for the Southeast Baltic area. The 87Sr/86Sr values partially confirmed the hypothesis that the unusually large horses found i…
Vestiges of the Huns? The Radiocarbon-Based Chronology of the Trilobate Arrowheads from Plinkaigalis Cemetery, Central Lithuania
Until presently, over 60 trilobate arrowheads characteristic of Asian nomads have been found in Lithuanian hillforts or their adjacent settlements, some of them in destruction layers. These finds encouraged Lithuanian archaeologists to create a narrative about the Huns severely raiding into the region in the 5th century AD . However, it is accepted as an axiom rather than a topic for research due to the lack of precise chronology. From the Plinka…
Large Barrows in East Lithuania
In the context of moderate external variations of East Lithuanian Barrow culture barrows, ones of exceptional diameters and shapes stand out. These are low trapezoid-shaped cross-section mounds, and some are even more complex structures consisting of banks and ditches. Eleven large barrows are known in six cemeteries, all located in extensive cemetery concentrations, along the right bank of the River Neris, and on the left bank of the River Žeime…
Discoveries and Inspiration from Michał Brensztejn’s ‘Archaeological Inventory of the Kovno Gubernia’
Michał 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…
Cremation as limitation? A paleodemographic inquiry into the accuracy of macroscopic analysis of cremated human remains based on an East Lithuanian sample
Capabilities of skeletal anthropology are limited when studying cremations. The paper assesses the pattern of these limitations and the probability of bias in the macroscopic analysis of cremated remains with an emphasis on its aspects in need of special attention. Biased analysis is viewed as a hazard not only to bioarchaeology, but also to a broad scale of topics in the archaeology of burial. As a methodological approach, a comparative paleodem…
Some Remarks on the Orientation of the Dead
Two east Lithuanian barrow cemeteries, Baliuliai and PerÅ¡aukÅ¡tis KasÄ iukai II, which date to the mid-5th century, are distinguished by a specific pattern of burial orientation. The head appears to generally lie to the west and northwest, which is entirely typical of east Lithuanian barrows. But a closer inspection shows an exceptional feature, i.e. the alignment of the deceased towards a single focal point near the cemetery. The present paper …
