PREFACE

This is the 25th-anniversary issue of Archaeologia Baltica. The volume focuses exclusively on research into north European Stone Age archaeology in the chapter ‘The Stone Age in Northern Europe: Changes in Landscape, Technologies and Beliefs’. This chapter covers various themes relating to the three periods of the Stone Age, Palaeolithic, Mesolithic and Neolithic. The articles seek to address important regional aspects of the Stone Age, from the development of the recolonisation of the landscape to technologies and mobile art. The second chapter in the volume is called ‘Material from the Medieval and the Modern Age: Social Interaction between Communities’, and presents articles on Medieval and Modern Age archaeology. There are only three papers in this chapter; however, they discuss important issues relating to social, religious and political activities
