The History and Current State of Research on the Olsztyn Group Chapter 2 The History and Current State of Research on the Olsztyn Group 2.1 Cultural Background The Olsztyn Group is part of the West Balt cultural circle. The latter was shaped in the Early Iron Age on the basis of the Lusatian culture, which occupied the lands between the Lower Vistula and the Nemunas rivers. At some point dur- ing the middle of the 1st millennium BC, the first sites of the West Balt Barrow culture appeared, which were different from those of Lusatian culture in terms of burial rites, settlement system, and pottery morphology. This phenomenon is related to the inflow of new population, most probably from the Middle Dnieper region, which was occupied at that time by the Milograd culture. The migration led not only to cultural changes visible in the archaeological material, but also to ethnic transformations that are responsible for the forma- tion of the West Balts. The West Balt Barrow Culture has been subdivided into several groups. The dominant one in the area of the Masurian Lakeland was the so-called West-Masurian Group, which is related to the Pomeranian Group. That in turn gave rise to the Bogaczewo Culture, the immediate predecessor of the Olsztyn Group.1 The Bogaczewo culture was first recognized in 1982 by Wojciech Nowakowski, who thus replaced the earlier classification of prehistoric cultures based on the work of the German researchers active in the first half of the 20th century.2 The Bogaczewo culture emerged during the late, so-called Pre-Roman period (Phase A3) from the West Balt Barrow Culture in the region between the Iława Lakeland and the Nemunas River.3 Its appearance was probably spurred by the 1 Wojciech Nowakowski, “Korzenie Prusów. Stan i możliwości badań nad dziejami plemion bałtyjskich w starożytności i początkach średniowiecza,” Pruthenia 1 (2006), pp. 12–21. 2 Wojciech Nowakowski, “Kultura bogaczewska na Pojezierzu Mazurskim od schyłku młodszego okresu przedrzymskiego do starszej fazy późnego okresu wpływów rzymskich,” Ph.D. dissertation, Warsaw University (Warsaw, 1983). 3 W. Nowakowski has distinguished five horizons in the development of the Bogaczewo cul- ture. More recent studies suggest that Horizon 1 may be subdivided into two parts, one embracing Phase A3–B1a, the other Phase B1b–B2a.

Bogaczewo was the first culture formed in the West Balt Circle after the decline of the West Balt Barrow Culture, and the southern influence probably came from the so-called Nidzica Group of the Przeworsk Culture. That influence is especially visible in the military equipment found on Bogaczewo sites.4 Others have pointed out to the influence of the Oksywie culture.5 At its earliest stage, the Bogaczewo Culture occupied the Mrągowo Lakeland, the Great Masurian Lake District, and the western part of the Ełk Lakeland. At the beginning of the Roman Period, an increase in the number of sites and an expansion to the east can be observed, as a result of which the Bogaczewo Culture reached the eastern part of the Ełk Lakeland and the Suwałki Lakeland, occupying its maximum area in Phase B2/C1.6 Its influence extended farther east to the areas of southern Lithuania, which is evidenced by the finds with Bogaczewo Culture traits from such cemetery sites as Pažarstis, Zapsė, or Stanaičiai.7 The Bogaczewo Culture had two settlement zones—a western one, occupying the Mrągowo Lakeland and the Great Masurian Lake District, and an eastern one, occupying the Suwałki region, the Ełk Lakeland and the lands on the Upper Gołdapa River. In the eastern zone, the finds from 4 Wojciech Nowakowski, “Kultura przeworska a zachodniobałtyjski krąg kulturowy,” in Kultura Przeworska I ed. by Jan Gurba, Andrzej Kokowski (Lublin, 1994), p. 374; Wojciech Nowakowski, Od Galindai do Galinditae.

Having analysed the earliest military equipment of the Bogaczewo culture, Bartosz Kontny has demonstrated that this category of finds was influenced not only by the Przeworsk, but also by the Oksywie culture, although the impact of the former seems to have been stronger.

Access to these critical resources was secured not only via long-distance physical trade routes, making use of landscape features such as river networks, as well as built roads, but also by creating immaterial social networks, consisting of interpersonal relations and diplomatic alliances, established and maintained through the exchange of extraordinary objects (gifts). In this article, we reason about Bronze Age communication networks and apply the results of use-wear analysis to create robust indicators of the rise and fall of political and commercial networks. In conclusion, we discuss some of the historical forces behind the phenomena and processes observable in the archaeological record of the Bronze Age in Europe and beyond.

(December 2003) Kristin Romey, A.B., Vassar College Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Shelley Wachsmann The Sea Peoples are generally assumed to be a loose confederation of clans that first appeared in the historical record in the 14th century B.C.E. Over a century of scholarship has puzzled over whether they were responsible for the collapse of several Late Bronze Age civilizations or simply one of several catalysts that put that collapse in motion. Many attempts have also been made to determine the origins of the various groups of Sea Peoples using textual and iconographic evidence, as well as the material culture of the Sea Peoples identified in Cyprus and the Levant. This material culture is characterized foremost by locally made Mycenaean-style pottery; as such, a considerable Aegean or Mycenaean presence has been argued in the multi-ethnic Sea Peoples coalition. The most important visual record that survives of the Sea People documents a land and sea battle against the forces of Ramesses III in the early 12th century B.C.E.

  • Bronze Casting and Communication in the Southeastern Baltic Bronze Age

ISSN 0207-8694 https://doi.org/10.33918/25386514-045005 BRONZE CASTING AND COMMUNICATION IN THE SOUTHEASTERN BALTIC BRONZE AGE VYTENIS PODĖNAS1, AGNĖ ČIVILYTĖ2 1 Lithuanian Institute of History, Department of Archaeology, Kražių St. 5, 01108 Vilnius, Lithuania, e-mail: [email protected] 2 Lithuanian Institute of History, Department of Archaeology, Kražių St. 5, 01108 Vilnius, Lithuania, e-mail: [email protected] The SE Baltic Bronze Age is characterized by a lack of indigenous metalwork traditions as it had been a time when metal finds were predominantly imported or were cast locally, but in foreign styles. This paper analyses the bronze casting remains found in the SE Baltic and discusses the role of these production sites within a wider European network. Through typological identification of the negatives in casting moulds, we assess predominantly Nordic artefact casts, in which the production of KAM (Kel’ty Akozinsko-Melarskie) axes was distinguished at a higher frequency. We hypothesize that several coastal regions were temporarily settled by people of Nordic origin who participated in an exchange with local SE Baltic communities via itinerant bronze production. Foreign settlement areas as indicated by stone ship burials are known in Courland and S Saaremaa as well as in N Estonia and the Sambian Peninsula. From these territories, further communication was developed with local communities settled mostly in enclosed sites in coastal areas and inland, in the vicinity of the River Daugava, the SE Latvian and NE Lithuanian uplands, and the Masurian Lakeland. Keywords: bronze casting, communication networks, exchange, Southeastern Baltic, Bronze Age.

  • On Three Spearheads with Decorated Blades from the South-Eastern Periphery of the Alps
    On three spearheads with decorated blades from the south-eastern periphery of the Alps By Andrej Gaspari and Boštjan Laharnar Keywords: Late La Tène period / Late pre-Roman Iron Age / spearheads / Slovenia / Mokronog group / Taurisci / Cimbri / Oksywie culture / Przeworsk culture / Oppida culture Schlagwörter: Spätlatènezeit / späte vorrömische Eisenzeit / Speerspitzen / Slowenien / Mokro- nog Gruppe / Taurisker / Kimbern / Oksywie Kultur / Przeworsk Kultur / Oppida Kultur Mots-clés: La Tène tardif / époque pre-romaine tardive / fers de lance / Slovénie / groupe Mokronog / Taurisci / Cimbri / culture Oksywie / culture Przeworsk / culture d'oppida Introduction The regions inhabited by the south-eastern Alpine cultural groups of the La Tène period revealed relatively rare objects that could be brought into connection with either the influence or presence of the peoples from northern Europe. They include three stray finds of spearheads with decorated blades, one found at Britof near Kranj and two in the Ljubljanica riverbed (fig. 1). These will be discussed in greater detail below by taking a closer look at how their dec- oration was executed and where to find their closest parallels, in an attempt to establish their spatial and historical context. The Britof spearhead has close similarities to finds from Pomer- ania and eastern Scandinavia, which indicates its most probable origin in the area of the Oksy- wie culture of the late part of the pre-Roman Iron Age. The two spearheads from the Ljubljan- ica are of a rare form, but similar to those in use across wide areas between the south-western edges of the Alps and the southern coast of the Baltic Sea. Both objects are most likely the products of the La Tène culture workshops, but draw their geometric and sunken scale deco- ration from the array of designs on the spearheads characteristic of the Przeworsk and Oksy- wie cultures.

  • A Contribution to Pre-Polish Antiquity
    A Contribution to Pre-Polish Antiquity Wojciech J. Cynarski ( [email protected] ) Uniwersytet Rzeszowski / University of Rzeszow Research article Keywords: Lusatian culture, defensive architecture, martial art, hoplology, Western Slavs Posted Date: October 12th, 2020 DOI: https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-88193/v1 License: This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License. Read Full License Page 1/17 Abstract In many issues, a scientic discussion about the beginnings of Slavicism (Pol. Słowiańszczyzna) raises doubts and controversy. This essay is not a contribution about another excavation, but rather a statement at a higher level of generality - an attempt at a kind of synthesizing approach on the basis of logical deduction. The author stands on the side of supporters of the indigenous theory of the origin of the Slavs, which he argues by citing several logical justications. The considerations concern a fairly wide range - from the Lusatian culture in the 8th century BC, when Scythian statehood dominated in its neighbourhood, to the 15th century and the great victory of the Kingdom of Poland in alliance with the Grand Duchy of Lithuania over the state of the Teutonic Order. The mainstream consideration, however, concerns the war tradition of the early Slavs and the rst Piasts. The emphasis is also on the specicity of the martial art of Lechites and Poles, compared to the traditions of neighbouring peoples. Introduction Hoplology, as a science of the warriors' weapons and cultures, is related to the broadly understood anthropology of martial arts. In this perspective, the issues of the development of the martial art of ancient peoples should be claried, while using the achievements of other disciplines and scientic subdisciplines.

    IΔΡΥΜA ΜΕΙΖΟΝΟΣ ΕΛΛΗΝΙΣΜΟΥ Συγγραφή : Kazanski Michel Μετάφραση : Μακρυπούλιας Χρήστος Για παραπομπή : Kazanski Michel , "Goths", Εγκυκλοπαίδεια Μείζονος Ελληνισμού, Εύξεινος Πόντος URL: <http://www.ehw.gr/l.aspx?id=12394> Περίληψη : The Goths were a Germanic people who, according to the historian Jordanes, migrated in the first century from Scandinavia to the Vistula valley. After the third century they were divided by the river Dniester into eastern (Visigoths) and western (Ostrogoths). The Visigoths advanced as far as Spain and founded a kingdom there with its capital at Toledo, while the Ostrogoths, led by Theodoric Amal, founded a kingdom in Italy with its capital at Ravena, a kingdom destroyed by emperor Justinian I in 555. Χρονολόγηση 1st-16th century 1. The origins of the Goths The Goths represent a group of people speaking an East Germanic language, known in Roman antiquity and throughout the High Middle Ages. According to a legend reported by the historian Jordanes (sixth century), the Goths originally came from Scandinavia. In fact, this legend is rather telling the story of the charismatic Amal dynasty. In the first century A.D. the Goths, according to the testimony of Tacitus, lived in Central Europe, where archaeologist have identified as Gothic the “Wielbark culture”, in the Vistula basin and the south Baltic Sea coast. Apart from Goths, this culture also included other East Germanic people, such as Gepids, Heruls etc. 2. Expansion of the Goths During the second half of the second century/first half of the third century, the carriers of the “Wielbark culture”advanced along the Western Bug towards the territories of modern Belarus and the Ukraine.
