Reviews

...Die Publikation der Verf. ist keinesfalls als reine Materialvorlage zu verstehen; sie bietet vielmehr einen wichtigen UEberblick uber die fruhgeschichtlichen Forschungen in Litauen. Grosse Bedeutung kommt den archaologisch nachweisbaren Beziehungen zu den benachbarten Regionen zu und deren Interagieren mit den Kulturen auf dem Gebiet des heutigen Litauens, dies alles vor dem Hintergrund des Bernsteinhandels. Die Arbeit bietet somit einen modellhaften Einblick in eine Landschaft mit einem uberregional begehrten Rohstoff, in dessen Nutzung und die dadurch bedingten Veranderungen vor Ort, die gerade durch die zeitliche Tiefe des vorliegenden Bandes interessant sind... Dieter Quast, Germania, 92, 2014 ...Audrone Bliujiene hat eine umfassende Darstellung der Bedeutung von Rohbernstein und Bernsteinschmuck im ersten nachchristlichen Jahrtausend auf dem Gebiet des spateren Litauen und in angrenzenden Regionen geschrieben, in der viele Aspekte kultur-, sozial- und wirtschaftsgeschichtlicher Art berucksichtigt werden... Matthias Hardt, Jahrbucher fur Geschichte Osteuropas: jgo.e-reviews 5 (2015), 4
