Žemaitiškės 2-oji polinė gyvenvietė
Žemaitiskė 2 Pole Dwelling Site

Summary/Abstract: The article deals with Žemaitiskė 2 dwelling site which dated to the late Neolithic and belongs to the pole dwelling sites found in Lithuania. Wooden buildings were temporary. This settlement was built on the platform supported by poles, the diameter of which is 6/8–14/16 centimetres. Next to this settlement fishing equipment was found – wooden enclosures with fishing-baskets. Dendrological researches allow to estimate that buildings on poles were constructed either in spring or at the beginning of summer mostly from ash-tree wood. Radiological investigations of wood confirm the overlapping of certain constructions. It should be also mentioned that this dwelling site on poles and other archaeological findings were left by the inhabitants of Narva culture – fishermen and hunters.
