Late Mesolithic and Late Neolithic settlement site in the southeast Baltic area, Lithuania, USSR. Stratified in a peat bog are two culture levels separated by a sterile layer: 1, the earlier occupation, of the Narva culture, with radiocarbon dates of c2700-2150 be; 3, the later occupation of the Rzucewo group of the Corded ware culture group, with a radiocarbon date of cl 910 be. Thanks to anaerobic conditions in the peat bog, textiles, wood, fishing, nets, oars, baby cradles and wooden statues of deities have been preserved.
