Overview

Lithuanian Baltic Sea Coasts During the Holocene focuses on the relicts of the cultural and natural landscapes that survived in the Baltic Sea during the final Paleolithic-Middle Neolithic period in Lithuania. Using a combination of interdisciplinary research methodologies from archaeology, physical and biomedical sciences, with innovative use of underwater technologies, the contributors identify complex underwater landscapes (relic forests, peat bogs, lagoons, paleodelts or palaeo-riverbeds) and cultural objects to determine the evolution of marine paleobasin formation, sea level fluctuations and climate change.

Reviews

'The articles not only report the current state of research in their specific fields, but do so against the background of their new research data. These are based on the most modern, partly innovative methods. The reader is led to the front line of research.' Dr Ulrich Schmoelcke, Centre for Baltic and Scandinavian Archaeology (ZBSA) 'The work - both the data and the interdisciplinary approach - is highly original. Much of the data is completely new, especially from underwater contexts. The methods used are cutting edge.' Dr Aki Hakonen, University of Oulu
