Stone Dead: Lithics Database for the Zvejnieki Burial Ground, Latvia, 2021-2023

This collection comprises a lithics database created between 2021 and 2023 for the Stone Dead Project. Data was derived from the analysis of all lithic artefacts stored in the Latvian National Museum of History in Riga, which is the total sum of lithics found in primary contexts at Zvejnieki burial ground. Lithics recorded as coming from secondary deposits were excluded. The collection includes new data on the archaeological use-wear traces identified using high and low power microscopy. Data on skeletal remains and other (non-lithic) grave goods and the presence/absence of ochre is drawn from publications and the original Latvian site report.
