Neckrings with cultural development in the eastern Baltic region, which was trumpet-shaped terminals are an example of impact from Sam- land which is seen throughout the eastern Baltic region as far as Finnic areas in Estonia and Finland. These influences from the southern Balts were adopted with the addition of local tastes for jewellery – for example some neckrings made by Finnic peo- ple have much more massive size than products of the Balts (Lang 2007, 247 fig. 132.2, 149.2; Rzeszotarska-Nowakiewicz 2010, 320, 324 pl. V). Influences from the Dollkeim-Kovrovo Culture of Samland during Early Roman Period are seen not only in the distribution of unique local forms such as neckrings but also through the distribution of types which were adopted in Samland follow- ing the Germanic fashions of the neighbouring Wielbark Cul- ture. Among the types from the southern Baltic region which reached Lithuania and Latvia thanks to the intermediation of West Balts are brooches of Almgren 42, Almgren 72, Almgren group V series 7 (Almgren 1897), which were adopted in the Balt regions of what are now Lithuanian and to a lesser degree, Latvian and Estonian territories (Moora 1938, 66f.; Nowakowski 1996, 155f.
