AUDRONĖ BLIUJIENĖ Preface The old boarder established in 1422 between Grand Duchy of Lithuania and Teutonic Order. G. Gimbutytė, Ch.G. Schmidt and A.V. Zinoviev. Photograph by A. Bliujienė. ania: A Case Study on Habitation Site and Environment’. In his article ‘Structure, Chronology and Interregional Relations: An Analysis of the Archaeological Material from Opstainis, Vilkyškiai Iron Age Hill-Fort and Settlement’, Romas Jarockis analyses the spatial structure and the chronological development of Opstainis, Vilkyškiai Iron-Age hill-fort settlement, on the basis of archaeological and geomagnetic survey data. It has been ascertained that the hill-fort and the settlement were inhabited throughout the first millennium AD. The newly collected archaeological material suggests that people lived, among other things, in semi-pit house-type buildings, used oval-shaped and pear-shaped flat-bottomed household pits, and made pottery decorated with cross-shaped imprint decorations. All these facts serve as evidence of the contacts between inhabitants of the lower reaches of the River Nemunas and the southwest Baltic Sea region in the second half of the first millennium AD. Dogs were the earliest animals to be domesticated, and have served man for thousands of years. Their historical diversity and interaction with men is no less interesting than the question of their origin. In his article ‘Of Friends and Food: Dogs in Medieval Novgorod the Great’, Andrei V. Zinoviev covers the subject of canine diversity and interaction with men in Medieval Novgorod the Great (the tenth to the 14th centuries), one of the oldest and most important trading cities in Old Russia. The final article in volume 17 of Archaeologia Baltica, which is the first volume containing the conference material, is an article by Arūnas Puškorius entitled ‘Renaissance Footwear as a Mark of Social Differentiation’, in which the author makes the claim, based on shoe fragments found during archaeological excavations, historical sources and abundant iconographic material, that only exhaustive and many-sided research into individual shoe finds makes it possible to reveal the features of footwear typical of different social strata. On the basis of data obtained in the course of research into individual archaeological shoe finds in Lithuania (at present, all the material comes exclusively from Vilnius), we can suggest that shoes made of goat or other animal hide (with the exception of cattle hide), of a light or bright colour, and of a more complex construction, with a welt joining and a broadened fore part, as well as textile-decorated and model shoes, must have been made for people enjoying a high status in society. Darker and undecorated shoes made of lower-quality cattle hide and of a simpler construction were worn by the lower social strata. Shoes decorated with perforations also indicate a higher social status; however, the lower social strata could afford such shoes too. Volume 18 of Archaeologia Baltica will contain exclusively material from the conference ‘People at the Crossroads of Space and Time (Footmarks of Societies in Ancient Europe)’. The authors of that volume will discuss the subject matter of the conference on the basis of burial site material pertaining to different periods of time. Audronė Bliujienė 12
