Maritime Archaeology in northwest Russia by Petr Sorokin The first underwater archaeological works in Russia started in the beginning of our century. In this time an ancient harbour was investigated at Feodosia, at the Black Sea, as well as a post-medieval boat in the northern part of Chudskoe Lake. But those were only the first experiences from land archaeologists in a water environment. The beginning of maritime archaeology as a special part of archaeological science, is connected with works by Orbelly and Blavatsky in the 1930s - 50s. The first underwater archaeological activities were concentrated on investigations of ancient monuments in the Black Sea. During the following time, several maritime archaeological groups existed in different parts of Russia, including St Petersburg. Presently, underwater search in St Petersburg is realised by different organisations, associations and clubs. This is coordinated by the Institute of the History of Material Culture and the Institute of Archaeology . Both institutes belong to the Russian Academy of Science, and give special permission for underwater investigations and keep scientific supervision of these works.

The Rostock Maritime Museum – Schiffahrtsmuseum Rostock The museum was founded in 1968 as a museum of shipping history. The museum is divided in two branches. The main branch, exhibiting the history of shipping, is housed in a 19th century building in the centre of Rostock. The second branch is situated in an old merchant ship, built in the 1950s in Rostock. There, the history of shipbuilding through the centuries is exhibited. The museum is especially proud of its large collection of "captain's pictures", detailed portraits of ships, painted for their captains in various techniques, including water-colours, oil, and even executed in silk embroidery. The museum's work is not only concentrated on organising exhibitions, but also scientific research and the exchange of these results. Schiffahrtsmuseum Rostock, Im Steintor, August-Bebel-Straße 1, D-18055 Rostock, Germany, tel 49-381-4922698, fax 49-381-27254, Opening hours: Tuesday - Sunday, 10:00-18:00 The Department of Ship archaeology (Schiffsarchäologie) at the museum In 1994, the Department of Ship archaeology was founded at the Schiffahrtsmuseum in Rostock. The main task is the prospection of ship wrecks along the coast of Mecklenburg- Westpommerania. This department provided for the first time an institute which concerned itself with maritime archaeology, especially the examining of boats and ships in the German Baltic coastal region. Emphasis is placed on the examining of ship building techniques and the history of shipping in the 16th century, based on archaeological sources. It is at this level that the international exchange of information takes place because, for example, many finds have been made in Sweden. The first results were collected from a stranded

Tomas Johansson The Swedish Institute has given support for our project about traditional techniques in the Baltic region. In short the project has been aiming at four subjects, namely education, pedagogy, documentation and creating network. Main participants were the famous Kizhi open air museum in Karelia in Russia, Children's School in Petrozavodsk, Russia, Estonian Open Air Museum in Tallinn, Estonia, and Institute of Ancient Technology, Östersund, Sweden. It has also been participants from other institutions as the Historical Institute in Tallinn, University of Tartu, Käsmo museum and administration of Karelia. Informal contacts have also, among others, been taken with the Araisi-project in Latvia and the Staraja Ladoga-project, near St. Petersburg. The work started the autumn 2000 and finished at the end of 2001. Three main seminars were held: Tallinn (27-29 September 2000), Petrozavodsk (22-24 June 2001), Stockholm (16-19 August 2001). There is now an increasing demand for new knowledge and activities regarding pre-industrial technology in Northern Europe, reflecting the transformation of the interest of the general public from traditional museums to living history, re-enactment and a desire to have more close experiences of history and archaeology. The reconstructed open-air museums in Europe have today around 6 - 8 million visitors a year and an estimated turnover on about 300 million euro. In ten years this figures may be doubled or tripled.

Dendrochronology Laboratory Department of Archaeology University of Sheffield Sheffield Dendrochronology Laboratory Current Research The Softwood Project Baltic Oak Timbers Devon Buildings and Woodlands London Woodland Changes The Softwood Project Dendrochronology in Britain and Ireland is founded on the analysis of oak, ( Quercus sp), but there have been recent notable successes with other species, such as beech, ( Fagus silvatica L.), and native sub-fossil pines, ( Pinus sylvestris L.). The conifers frequently found in medieval and post-medieval context remain virtually ignored. This is essentially due to the fact that conifers have been widely imported throughout the last millennia, thus increasing the difficulties associated with their analysis. However, the progressively widespread use of dendrochronology and the increasing co-operation between recognised laboratories throughout Europe and the USA has proved invaluable in identifying imported oak timbers in a variety of historical contexts and has clearly demonstrated the suitability of conifers for dendrochronological analysis. It is therefore, necessary to build up a database of conifer chronologies and extend the scope of British dendrochronology to enable precise dating evidence to be obtained from a wider range of timber species and hence provide a more comprehensive dating system for timber structures and artefacts.

Nordic-Baltic NorFA network About the network The aim of the NorFA Nordic-Baltic network " Modelling of specific and sensitive coastal areas of the Baltic Sea" is to co-ordinate and support interdisciplinary research and post-graduate studies in the Baltic region. Special notice is taken to past, present and future environment in specific and sensitive coastal areas. Key areas are chosen to represent various coastal types, shore displacement rates and cultural history. The new political situation in the Baltic States, and northwestern Russia, has resulted in an opening of the former, for military reasons, closed coastal areas. The closed situation has sometimes resulted in that the coastal zone has been more or less unaffected by civil human activities. This means that the coastal region has an enormous research potential, especially regarding the natural history of the Baltic and prehistoric human activities. A documentation of the present state of the coastal areas will make it possible to study how future utilisation will affect the landscape. In specific sites the military bases, however, have caused large stress on the environment by e.g. pollution and construction works. An interdisciplinary approach might increase the understanding of how the stress has affected the nature and gives insights of how to delimit the negative effects.

The new Baltic Sea Centre is going to comprise research, exhibitions, communication and development within areas such as nature and the environment, integrated coastal zone management, marine archaeology and geology. The project group is working under the auspices of the Municipality of Vordingborg, but as time goes by, the centre will develop into an independent and exciting attraction for the entire Baltic Sea Region. The Baltic Sea Centre will be situated in the historic town of Vordingborg, once the capitol of Denmark, close to the waters of Storstrommen and the Faro Bridges. This locality will form an extraordinary setting for the new centre and its future activities.

Lithuania Giedre Motuzaite, Department of Archaeology, Vilnius University The appearance of fortified settlements in the east Baltic area and possible relations with Scandinavia There are no doubts about the presence of the Scandinavians in the Dauguva river basin in the late Bronze Age. This is evident from metal artefacts and casting forms found in this region. The distribution of the Malar axes shows contacts among Eastern Russia, the Dauguva river basin and the Malar Valley in Sweden. The stone ship settings by the mouth of the river Dauguva in Latvia indicate the existence of the Scandinavian colonies in North Curonia. The Scandinavian migration down the river Dauguva, to the East Baltic region and further to the Volga-Kama river basin could be linked with: 1. Search for the alternative metal resources in the Kama river basin; 2. Establishment of the colonies and search for new arable land. The beginning of the Scandinavian migration coincides with the erection of hillforts and the first melting centres in the 2-nd half of the second millennium BC.
