Some Remarks on Amber Usage Tradition and Amber Provenance in the Interfluve of Nemunas and Daugava Rivers in the Migration Period
Original language description
There was a flourishing period in amber-wearing traditions in the region between the rivers Nemunas (Neman) and Daugava (Western Dvina) in the Migration Period, compared with the Roman Period. A lot of archaeological sites contain amber and many ambera beads were deposited in graves. We suppose that the people who inhabited the interfluve of Neman (Memel) and Daugava (Western Dvina) in the West of Lithuania owned raw amber sources in the Migration Period. Amber artefacts from archaeological sites of Western Lithuania, raw amber from the seacoast and strip-mine were analysed by LDI-MS. From obtained results we can supposed, that amber was used from more than one location. It could be said that the amount of this commodity varies through the time and region. The most popular were the Basonia beads with various shapes. They were semi-lathed and lathe-turned, sometime with incised linear decoation or deep groves. These bead have been spread accross Central Europe, the Middle Danube, the central Balkans, southern Scandinavia, Bornholm and Oland island, Pomerania, the Sambian Peninsula and othe sites of the Balts lands. These beads might have come to the teritory of Lithuania as imports.
