Summary / Abstract:

ENThe full return of Lithuanian archaeology to the global level can be considered its most impor tant achievement in the course of these two deca des. Modern Lithuanian archaeologists are no longer bound by methodological restrictions or predetermined economic and political ones. They can investigate any topic, publish works if a finan cial basis is found for them, and operate on the basis of long-term investigation topics or awarded projects. Because two generations of Lithuania’s archaeologists had been forced to work under enti rely different conditions, they, and especially the older generation, had to readapt to work principles that are innately understood in the free world. The decentralisation of archaeological science took place in Lithuanian archaeology during this same period [p. 9-10].
