§ „The Iron Curtain was the name for the non-
physical boundary dividing Europe into two
separate areas from the end of World War II in
1945 until the end of the Cold War in 1991.“ (by
Wikipedia)
§ „Europe in 1945 was drained. Much of the
continent was devastated by war, mass slaughter,
bombing and chaos. Large areas of Eastern
Europe were falling under Soviet control,
exchanging one despotism for another.“ (Postwar:
A History of Europe Since 1945, by Tony Judt)
§ Archaeologist Adolfas Tautavičius in 1949 wrote:
“An expedition took place under difficult conditions.
The government started to found Kolkhozes
[collective farms] and Sovkhozes [state farms],
begun deportation of farmers. Part of these
farmsteads were empty, without windows, doors,
overturned fences. Inhabitants were frightened,
especially when they saw a car full of people. Then
was difficult to know something from them.”
Adolfas Tautavičius in 1964

Archaeologist Rimutė Rimantienė in 1967
wrote: “I hired local children to work in an
archaeological excavation. After some time,
however, they would begin to play and
throw dirt at each other. Sometimes children
hurried to work and damaged any
potsherd.”
Rimutė Rimantienė in 1954
The men and boys were
usually dressed in trousers,
shirts and jackets, the women
– in dresses, shirts and skirts.
In 1956, 1958, 1960, 1962
In the 1960s during
archaeological excavations
women started to wear
trousers and changed their
style of clothing.
In 1967
In 1953, 1955
§ Rimutė Rimantienė described: “We have to
excavate a Stone Age settlement, but the
head of the Kolkhoz forgot and planted
potatoes in this site. But everything was ok.
The head let us dig the potatoes. We dug
it day after day and ate. Potatoes, kefir
and salads, and later cucumbers and
tomatoes. No one sold it for us, we just
discovered vegetables on our beds. […]
Only butter, milk and cheese we ordered
from local people. Kids caught fishes.”
Rimutė Rimantienė in 1953

§ Pranas Kulikauskas around 1948–1949
wrote: “We didn‘t have any tools or
equipment. “Spoons“ and brushes were
borrowed from other museums. The
Museum of Šiauliai gave us a camera.
We drew the plans ourselves.”
Pranas Kulikaukas in the1953
In the 1961,
1962, 1964
• „Spoons“ or
„scalpels“
• Brushes
• Rulers
• Stretchers
• Shovels

• Washing of artefacts
• Treatment of bones
and archaeological

In 1957, 1960, 1965
• Drawing by hand.

Taking a picture wih camera.
In 1955, 1957, 1961.
In 1962, 1965, 1967
The usual practise was to
order a truck to carry
everything to the
excavated place and
from it.
In 1954, 1964, 1962, 1961
In 1962, Pranas Kulikauskas
wrote about one exciting
example: “On the hill-fort we
could go with a boat, because
there was a lake. From the
other side, we could walk,
since there was water up to
our knees.“
In 1964, 1952
Dinner.
In 1953, 1954
From the Rimutės
Rimantienės diary in
1963: “Here in Rudnia
village, life is very good.
The forest is full of
berries. The girls picked
a lot of berries, but we
could not eat them all,
so from what was left
we cooked and made
jam.”
Ending of excavation, 1954
The research revealed that these
images are the right tool to
explore the everyday reality in
general and that of
archaeological excavations in
particular.
Part of the issues were obvious
and easily detected. About other
conditions, there are only hints.
The images are informative
sources yet there remains more
to be uncovered.„How much gold you dug? – peasants usually
asked. In 1957.
In 1952

Much of the continent was devastated by war, mass slaughter, bombing and chaos. Large areas of Eastern Europe were falling under Soviet control, exchanging one despotism for another.“ (Postwar: A History of Europe Since 1945, by Tony Judt)
  • 10. § Archaeologist Adolfas Tautavičius in 1949 wrote: “An expedition took place under difficult conditions. The government started to found Kolkhozes [collective farms] and Sovkhozes [state farms], begun deportation of farmers. Part of these farmsteads were empty, without windows, doors, overturned fences. Inhabitants were frightened, especially when they saw a car full of people. Then was difficult to know something from them.” Adolfas Tautavičius in 1964

  • 17. § Rimutė Rimantienė described: “We have to excavate a Stone Age settlement, but the head of the Kolkhoz forgot and planted potatoes in this site. But everything was ok. The head let us dig the potatoes. We dug it day after day and ate. Potatoes, kefir and salads, and later cucumbers and tomatoes. No one sold it for us, we just discovered vegetables on our beds.

  • 31. From the Rimutės Rimantienės diary in 1963: “Here in Rudnia village, life is very good. The forest is full of berries. The girls picked a lot of berries, but we could not eat them all, so from what was left we cooked and made jam.” Ending of excavation, 1954
  • 32. The research revealed that these images are the right tool to explore the everyday reality in general and that of archaeological excavations in particular. Part of the issues were obvious and easily detected. About other conditions, there are only hints. The images are informative sources yet there remains more to be uncovered.„How much gold you dug? – peasants usually asked. In 1957.
