site. As yet, this date has not been supported by other
data. Ertebolle pottery rarely carries decoration more
complex than rim cuts, but in the eastern Ertebolle
culture in southern Sweden more elaborate decora-

the submerged Ertebolle site Neustadt LA 156,
Schleswig-Holstein, was integrated into the com-

an extensive pottery analysis (Glykou 2016). Situated

Narva culture
In the eastern Baltic, sites of the Narva culture are
distributed widely over a large area in the present
day countries Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, and Be-
larus as well as western Russia (Rimantiene 2005).
The earliest 14C-datings from this hunter-gatherer
culture with pottery date to the older half of the
6th millennium calBC and originate from sites in
the northeastern part of the area. In the inland of
Lithuania, the oldest dates are confirmed before the
middle of the 5th millennium calBC, and sites from
the eastern Baltic Sea area date around c. 4,000
calBC (Piezonka 2015). The pottery set consists of
pointed-bottom pots and lamps. While the oldest ves-
sels are rarely decorated, ornamentation increases in
