CONTINUITY OF RESEARCH AND RESEARCH OF CONTINUITY: BASIC RESEARCH ON SETTLEMENT ARCHAEOLOGY OF THE IRON AGE IN THE BALTIC REGION. A NEW LONG-TERM RESEARCH PROJECT BY THE ACADEMY OF SCIENCE AND LITERATURE IN SCHLESWIG AND BERLIN

After several years of successful investigations in former East Prussia (today the Kaliningradskaya Oblast of the Russian Federation) and investigations in neighbouring countries around the Baltic Sea, the Centre for Baltic and Scandinavian Archaeology in Schleswig (ZBSA) in Germany has expanded its research plans for the next 18 years. The application for the project ‘Forschungskontinuität und Kontinuitätsforschung – Siedlungsarchäologische Grundlagenforschung zur Eisenzeit im Baltikum’ (Continuity of Research and Research of Continuity: Basic Research on Settlement Archaeology of the Iron Age in the Baltic Region), submitted in June 2010, was accepted by the Academy of Sciences and Literature in Mainz in December 2011.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.15181/ab.v17i0.4
