ENIn 2021 large scale archaeological investigations were carried out in Šventoji, NW Lithuania. 189 1 – 9 m2 size test pits were excavated at different land properties with total area of 310,46 a. 88 1x1 m size test pits were excavated on the shore of the former lagoonal lake. Rest of the test pits mostly sized 2x1 or 2x2 m were excavated at the lakebed. In addition, 15 boreholes were drilled and 9 gPR profiles (2550 m) were made in order to collect more data on the paleorelief of prehistoric lake. During these excavations 9 archaeological finds were found, all associated with fishing and can be dated to 3500–2000 Bc. Among these finds were two stones likely used as net sinkers, part of pine lath, float made from bark, leister prong, two stakes that may have belonged to some underwater fishing construction and one unidentified worked artefact that was also probably a part of some fishing tool.
