Looking for a common time. The Balt lands and Scandinavia in the early migration period
Abstract
Investigations concerning the mutual contacts between Scandinavia and the south-eastern
Baltic zone in the Early Migration Period should be combined with careful chronological studies, otherwise
it is not possible to point out the source of inspiration and the direction of contacts. A barrier limited
such studies still remains the differences in chronological systems used by the researchers from both
sides of the Baltic Sea. The author has proposed the synchronisation of Balt-Scandinavian chronology
based on the most common phenomenon in Europe in the Early Migration Period, namely the stamp
ornamentation. But instead of rather amorphous styles the horizons of certain artefacts decorated in these
styles, Samland and Sosdala horizons, have been distinguished and analysed. The author established the
relative chronological sequence of individual artefacts within the Sosdala and Samland horizons. There
are three phases of each horizon. In absolute dating the beginning of horizons in question could be
placed in the 2nd half of the 4lh c., while their ending in mid 5lh c. Basing on such a framework it was
possible to establish the sequences of both Scandinavian and Balt artefacts correlated to each other. It
was possible to distinguish six phases: phase 0 preceding the appearance of the Samland and Sosdala
horizons, phases 1-3 synchronic with these horizons and phases 4—5 succeeding the horizons in question.
The above sequence of phases may be fitted within the interregional chronological framework.
