Abstract
The societies of the Globular Amphora culture (GAC) in eastern Europe have
already been discussed in one of the previous volumes of the Baltic-Pontic Studies
(4). The papers included in it presented new Globular Amphora culture assemblages
and new information categories (in particular, new radiocarbon dates). This volume
gives a full description of source material foundations relating to the presence of
GAC populations in eastern Europe, from the Baltic coast in the north to the Black
Sea in the south and the Dnieper-Dvina line in the east. The sources were subjected
to extensive analytical procedures whose ultimate result is a new presentation of
the temporal and spatial parameters of the development of GAC population settlement
in eastern Europe. Of special interest is a detailed description of the cultural
environments in which the settlement appeared as well the cultural processes in
which GAC societies took part. Consequently, this book touches upon a number of
controversial issues in the prehistory of the borderland between western and eastern
Europe. We intend to continue this line of investigations in one of the next volumes
focusing especially on the questions of social transformations characteristic of the
3rd millennium BC in the area of interest to us that need to be dealt anew.
