ENThis book deals with prehistoric central Lithuania. It is one of the few studies whose subject is the prehistory of a single tribe or region. It consists of 12 chapters, in which the climate, peculiarities of the soil, and the de velopment of the region in Roman times and the great migration are reviewed. The largest part of it covers the Viking era, outlines the region within the entire world of the Baltic tribes, and shows its importance on the eve of the formation of the state [p. 214].
