During excavation 73 coins were discovered, 70 of them belong to the period of the end of 15th-20th century. Dating of 3 coins is impossible due to their poor condition. All of the coins are solitary, assemblages (hoards) were not found. Chronologically, most of the coins discovered, belong to the 17th century, whereas fewer coins from other periods were found (Chart 1). The coins of the end of 16th-19th century belong to various European countries and cities - The Grand Duchy of Lithuania (4 coins), The Kingdom of Poland (5 coins), Reval (1 coin), The Duchy of Courland and Semigallia (l coin), Riga (21 coins), The Duchy of Prussia (9 coins), The Duchy of Livonia (6 coins), The County of Reckheim (1 coin), The Kingdom of Prussia (15 coins), The Russian Empire (3 coins). The coins of low nominal value are more predominant (shillings, pfennigs and etc.), whereas much smaller amounts of coins of a higher nominal value (four groats, six groats) were discovered. The coins give information about the circulation of the smallest coins of the end of 15th-19th century in Klaipėda. The majority of coins in circulation were, most probably, foreign coins, minted in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (ATR) and region of Livonia. From the second quarter of the 17th century there must have been more of the Prussian coins in circulation, however, the majority of coins were from foreign lands. The situation must have changed significantly starting from the 18th century, since most of the coins were minted in The Kingdom of Prussia. Similar situation must have remained in the 19th century. These conclusions about the circulation of coins in Klaipeda in the 16th-19th century must be regarded as preliminary. In the future, when there will be more coins discovered, most of the statements expressed, indubitably, will have to be taken into consideration and reviewed
Mažai žinomas Klaipėdos ir apylinkių piešinys 1586 m. jūrlapyje | A Sketch of Klaipėda (Memel) and the Surrounding Area in an Unknown Author’s Rutter of 1586
No full textBy digitising and publicising their exhibits, European archives, libraries and museums are opening up an increasing number of historical sources to a wider audience. This publication deals with a late 16th-century manuscript rutter (a nautical book of sailing directions), created by an unknown Dutch cartographer, and bearing the French title Recveil et povrtraict d’avlcvnes villes maritimes et plvs memorables ports et levrs advenves et marcques servantes a la navigation en la mer oceane. The manuscript is held by the National Library of Spain (Biblioteca Nacional de España) and was thoroughly described by Günter Schilder in 1991. This presentation focuses on two charts out of 24 charts depicting coastlines from La Rochelle to Tallinn in the manuscript that depict the waterways along the shores of the Baltic Sea, the coasts of the Duchy of Courland and Semigallia and the Duchy of Prussia, in a stretch between Memel (Klaipėda) and Danzig (Gdańsk). The drawings show coastlines seen from the sea, as if from a bird’s-eye view, and provide an opportunity to reflect on a view of this stretch of Baltic coast that sailors saw at the time. According to collected data on the depth of the water in the Curonian Lagoon, the author concludes that the drawings present reliable information, probably because they were created based on information provided by sailors. However, the precision of the information is apparently not absolute, as the site 7 Berge (Seven hills), shown between Liepāja and Klaipėda by later sources, was localised here between Ventspils and Liepāja. The charts are also interesting in that they contain a drawing of the town and castle of Memel (Klaipėda) and its surroundings, which was so far not known in the historiography of Klaipėda. It is safe to assume that the 1586 drawings are some of the earliest cartographic sources representing Klaipėda and its surroundings
Kultūrinės sąveikos tarp vokiečių Ordino ir vietinių gyventojų archeologijos duomenimis: problemos ir perspektyvos.
No full textThe political and economic situation in the southeast Baltic region changed dramatically when two main powers, the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the Teutonic Order, emerged in the 13th century. These political structures tried to involve local communities in the social organisation of their newly established states. Archaeological material (pottery) is analysed in this article. It could help us understand the processes happening in what is now western Lithuania during the Medieval period. Local and Western pottery is assessed as evidence of contacts between the Crusaders and the local people. These contacts are interpreted as part of the cultural interaction process between the two different communities

No full textMacikų lagerių istorija ir įvairių šaltinių pritaikymo galimybės tampa aktualija. Tai susiję su šios vietos daugiareikšmiškumu ir šio objekto svarba daugelio valstybių istorijoje. Čia kalinti ir mirę belaisviai yra įvairių šalių piliečiai, tad ir jų atminimas yra ne tik Lietuvos, bet ir Jungtinių Amerikos Valstijų, Didžiosios Britanijos, Prancūzijos, Vokietijos, Lenkijos, Rusijos ir kitų valstybių istorinės atminties dalis. Tad 2020 m. Klaipėdos universiteto Baltijos regiono ir archeologijos institutas pradėjo vykdyti Lietuvos mokslo tarybos finansuojamą projektą „Tamsiojo paveldo“ panauda Lietuvos atminimo kultūroje: Macikų lagerių atvejo tyrimas“. Straipsnis yra šio projekto dalis, kuria siekiama atkreipti dėmesį į archeologinių duomenų panaudojimo galimybes tiriant ir vystant tokio pobūdžio memorialus. Reikšminiai žodžiai: Macikai, lageris, archeologija, belaisvių stovykla, Lietuva, Klaipėdos kraštas, memorialas.Based on the concept of landscape archaeology, the article analyses the data of archaeological research in Macikai camps. An overview and critical evaluation of archaeological sources is provided. This allowed to state that only a part of the archaeological research data is reliable and representative in the context of the me morialization of the Macikai camps. The first part of the study analyses the structure of Macikai camps and the data revealing it. It is noted that during Nazi Germany period, the camp was made up of several components: the main camp, the Red Army war prisoners sector, settlement of serving personal, and others. The article questions the established tradition, which is claiming that the existing cemetery was established as early as 1941–1945, as no supporting data were found. Historical data show that prisoners of war were buried in various places, so the systematic burial of the dead in a place set up for that purpose can be considered an element of the Soviet period. The comparative analysis showed the takeover of the camp infrastructure and its adaptation to very similar functions in 1945–1955. Although the boundaries (fences) were changed, most of the buil dings were used to hold captives and prisoners. The buildings of the former Nazi war camp of prisoner were also used for the needs of the Soviet hospital, which was established here. After discussing all this and presenting the data, a coordinated plan was given and proposal formula ted to use the data on the infrastructure in creation of a path for the future memorial visitors. This could create a narrative in the current landscape by indicating where and what buildings or other facilities were. As the study continued, artefacts from archaeological research, their evaluation, and their possible use in creating exhibits or individual stories about the daily life, supply, and life of the prisoners were pre sented. Artefacts such as the buttons of the uniforms of Belgian and Lithuanian armies provide an opportunity to create a story about the fates of different states and their citizens. The exhibition and creation of stories about the multi-ethnicity and the fact that the Macikai camps have become an object of historical memory in many countries must be taken as the goal of future memorial. This make it possible to create an engaging and meaningful historical narrative for this place, which can be reflected or enhanced using arte facts discovered during archaeological research

No full text2013 m. balandžio–spalio mėnesiais BRIAI vykdė archeologinius tyrimus Klaipėdos senamiestyje (UK 16075), Turgaus aikštėje 12 ir 14 sklypuose, buvusio Odų gatvelės (1692-1722(3) m.-Frydricho miesto) priemiesčio vietoje. Rašytiniuose šaltiniuose priemiestis minimas nuo XVI a. II pusės (Zembrickis J., Klaipėdos karališkojo Prūsijos jūrų ir prekybos miesto istorija, Klaipėda, 2002, t. I, p. 77). Tačiau tikslios priemiesčio ribos nėra žinomos iki 1626–1629 m. laikotarpio, kai aplink senamiestį (teritoriją tarp dabartinių Dangės ir Didžiosios Vandens gatvių) bei Odų gatvelės priemiestį buvo įrengti bastioniniai įtvirtinimai. Tyrimai vykdyti Klaipėdos senamiesčio PV dalyje. Jų metu Turgaus aikštės 12 sklype tirtos 3 perkasos, kurių bendras plotas 399,16 m2 . Papildomai vykdyti žvalgomieji archeologiniai tyrimai sklype Turgaus aikštė 14, kurių metu buvo ištirti keturi 2x1 m dydžio šurfai (iš viso ištirtas 8 m2 plotas). Taigi 2013 m. tyrimų medžiagoje galima rasti duomenų, leidžiančių atkurti XVI–XIX a. Odų gatvelės (vėliau Frydricho priemiesčio) bei viso Klaipėdos miesto praeities vaizdinius-pažinti XVI a. pabaigoje-XX a. I pusėje gyvavusį kvartalą ir bendruomenę, kuri katastrofiškai nukentėjo II Pasaulinio karo metu. [...]In 2013, an excavation was conducted on the plots at Turgaus sq. 12 and 14 in the SW part of Klaipėda old town. Three trenches (a total of 399.16 m2) were excavated on the plot at Turgaus sq. 12) and four test pits (a total of 8 m2) on the plot at Turgaus sq. 14. The discovered cultural layer was 1.9–2.7 m thick. Based on the discovered finds, the investigated layers and structures date to the late 16th–21st centuries. An abundant collection of bones, household pottery, structural ceramics, glass artefacts, coins, ornaments, etc. was amassed during the investigation. Due to the systematic use of a metal detector, the largest coin collection (73 coins) of any Klaipėda old town investigation was assembled. Several structures (lime hydration/rubbish boxes, a rubbish collector, storage pits, and the remains of fence pickets), which should be connected with the courtyard infrastructural elements of the neighbouring houses, were also discovered. The drainage system, which was apparently installed in order to dry out a wet place, should be mentioned separately and should be connected with the first attempt to develop the plot and its surroundings in the late 16th early 17th centuries
Anglų pirklių gyvenvietė Šventojoje: radinių analizė ir interpretacija.
No full textA settlement was established by English merchants in Šventoji in the second half of the 17th century. The rich collection of artefacts and historic documents distinctly suggests the daily life of merchants. In this paper, the artefacts are assessed as indicators of the cultural and personal identity. Most of the finds were imported, and not locally produced. Their provenance, if possible, was identified and associated with manufacturing centres by using a comparative method. Ceramic dishes, glass vessels and cutlery represent merchants’ dining traditions and habits, while personal belongings can be associated with the presentation of social status or individual expression
