The chronology of East European enameled artifacts form the balt lands and from the Przeworsk and Wielbark cultures

Among many subjects concerning barbarian artifacts decorated with champleve email the problem of chronology remains one of the most important. Most of them are recorded as loose finds, loose finds on the settlements or in the hoards with no dating indicators. However in some regions East European enameled artifacts occurred in closed grave associations (the Balt lands, Mazury and Suwalki region, in Lithuania). Among above 50 grave complexes around half of them contain reliable chronological indicators. The earliest could be dated to the developed phase B2 (mid 2nd c. or somewhat earlier - Netta, grave 81; Bartlikowo, grave 29; Wyszembork, grave 214). Numerous graves with different types of enameled artifacts belong to phase B2/C1 or B2/C1-C1a (Bartlikowo, grave 234, Babi^ta, grave 50, Spychowek, grave 129, and others). Several graves from North-eastern Poland and Lithuania date to phase C1a or generally to phase C1 (Babi^ta, grave 312, Machary, grave 323, Linkaiciai, grave XV)...
