ROMAS JAROCKIS Structure, Chronology and Interregional Relations: an Analysis of the Archaeological Material from Opstainis, Vilkyškiai Iron Age Hill-Fort and Settlement Fig. 7. The plan of the 2011 geomagnetic survey of Opstainis, Vilkyškiai hill-fort settlement (the location of a polework construction is zoomed in) (compiled by S. Messal). 144
Fig. 8.1-2. The 2010 archaeological excavations of Opstainis, Vilkyškiai hill-fort settlement, area 3, the sections of pits 1 and 2 (photograph by R. Jarockis). pit is a mere 0.3 to 0.35 metres in diameter, whereas the diameter of the flat bottom is 1.3 metres. Pit 2 is a flat-bottomed one too. Its diameter is 0.9 metres, and its depth is one metre (Fig. 8.1, 2). It is believed that flat-bottomed pits, quite a large number of which were also found in the neighbouring Šereitlaukis Iron Age open-type settlement, are a typical relic of the Iron Age material culture of the West Balts. It is also believed that they were intended for the storage of food (Zabiela, Jarockis 2009, p.91). In our search for analogies, we should turn our attention once again to material from the previously mentioned settlement of Gross Strömkendorf. In the publication of the archaeological material from this settlement, an analysis is given of 450 pits. Most of the pits (51%) are oval-shaped. Circular pits make up 27% of the total number. The rest of the pits are irregularly shaped. The dimensions of the oval-shaped pits vary, and are 0.5 to two by 0.4 to 1.6 metres. They differ in the shape of their walls and bottoms; 35% of these structures dug in the subsoil are flat-bottomed pits. The diameter of the circular pits varies from 0.5 to 1.7 metres, and the average depth varies from 0.5 to 1.2 metres. Most of the pits are regular in shape. An analysis of the purpose of the pits leads us to the assumption that they might have been used as waste and rubbish pits, storage for food products and traded or bartered goods, and also used as an entrance to a semi-pit house. It was also noted that the household pits and the buildings next to them were arranged almost in chess-board order (Tummuscheit 2011, pp.119-131).
