Находки гамбургской культуры в Литве

The article analyzes the Hamburg art findings, their main types and characteristics. The data, which are still not sufficiently comprehensive, provide the possibilities to state that certain Hamburg pieces of art have really been found in Lithuania, however, their interpretation and dating still remain problematic. The available findings distinguish among other later findings, the earliest of which could be dated as far as the middle – second half of Aleroid and belong to the Brome culture. The findings in question are far older than the aforementioned. Referring to the analogies, found in the Northern Germany, the Netherlands, Denmark and Poland they could be dated as far as the middle – the second half of the Bioling. One of the possible paths of coming of the examples of the Hamburg culture to Lithuania is along the coasts of the regressing marginal range of Švenčionėliai - Vilnius - Merkinė - Warsaw - Berlin - Hamburg. Another possible path of the articles to Lithuania, which is much more difficult, is along the Southern bank of the Baltic glacial lake at the depth of several meters. In the future is it expected to find more Hamburg culture settlements
