This book is a first attempt to survey the entire prehistoric period from the beginning of the second millennium B.C. — when a branch of the Indo-Europeanspeaking peoples settled and gradually developed its individual cultural features in the area from Pomerania in northern Poland in the west to central Russia in the east — to the thirteenth century A.D., the beginning of history, marked by two major events: the conquest of the ancient Prussians by the Teutonic Order, and the birth of the Lithuanian state.
