Shore Displacement Chronology Of The Estonian Stone Age
Shore Displacement Chronology Of The Estonian Stone Age

Summary/Abstract: The article gives a close view of a shore displacement chronology compiled on the basis of the material from sixty Stone Age settlement sites discovered on the Estonian mainland coast and on Western Estonian islands. Despite the insufficiency of data the placing of the sites in a distance-elevation diagram and the distinguishing of simultaneous shorelines enables one to create a dating system that could be used for finding seashore-related sites as well as for interpreting the existing ones. It is especially important in case indicator finds needed to distinguish archaeological cultures are missing among the find material.
