| Summary | In the ceramic material of the Sambian-Natangian group of the Western Baltic culture, which occupied the southeastern Baltic region during the era of Roman influence, attachment vessels with a spheroid or biconical body with a narrow elongated neck have a prominent place. Despite the fact that the ceramic forms in general (and their important part — the attachment vessels) belong to the mass archaeological material, the ceramics of the Aestians have not attracted the close attention of European archaeologists so far. For the first time this type of vessels was isolated and named “Dollkeim type” in 1996 by V. Novakovski. In this article, 24 vessels from the burial grounds of Sambia were selected for internal typology and identification of chronology. It turned out that the predecessors of the Dollkeim type vessels are the Okulicz VIII type vessels of the III group, which preserved in the 1st century AD traditions of the early Iron Age. On the basis of these vessels, the Aestian ceramists at the B2 phase are developing vessels of the Dollkeim-1 and Dollkeim-2 subtypes, which serve as a reservoir of sacrificial liquids in the graves of their fellow tribesmen until phase D2. The main habitat of the Dollkeim type vessels in the Aestian burial complexes is located in the western part of the Sambia Peninsula, in the vicinity of the Amber Coast. The Dollkeim type vessels in phases B2 / C1-D1 were an important part of the burial complex of male warriors, possibly comparable to the optimates of written sources. In the burial antiquities of Sambia, vessels of the proto-Dollkeim and Dollkeim types coexist in various communities throughout the Roman period. Only the Dollkeim-2 subtype survives until the beginning of the Great migration period. | ||
