VOLUME I I OF AESTIORUM HEREDITAS

An important publication is now available to archaeologists and the general public who are interested in (but not only) the ancient past of the Balts, namely volume two in the ‘Aestiorum Hereditas’ (The Heritage of the Aestii) series, which was published in Poland. This volume focuses on the East Prussian archaeological heritage known from the archives of the Latvian archaeologist Felikss Jākobsons (1896–1930). Volume one, which was published in 2008 and covered the inventory books of the Prussia Museum, was favourably received (Fornvännen, 2008, t. 103, p.291, J.P. Lamm; Lietuvos archeologija, Vilnius, 2009, t. 35, pp.274-275, R. Banytė-Rowell; Archeologija Lituana, Vilnius, 2009, t. 10, pp.193-198, L. Tamulynas). Volume two, edited by T. Nowakiewicz, follows essentially the same structure as the first one. It contains articles by individual authors, published materials, and a trilingual text (in this case, the place of the Russianlanguage text in volume one is taken by a Latvian text, which indicates the third language, along with Polish and German, intended for local researchers). All this shows that the project is well thought out, and is gaining momentum. Also, volume two contains a small but important supplement, a compact disc. The book consists of four chapters. Chapter one focuses on F. Jākobsons and the material he collected. A rather brief characterisation (pp.14-25 of trilingual text, with five illustrations) of Jākobsons is given by J. Ciglis, an archaeologist from the National History Museum of Latvia. During his short life (he drowned in his 34th year on 25 May 1930 in the River Daugava, next to Lucavsala) Jākobsons, a promising researcher from the younger generation of Latvian archaeologists, worked for only eight years in archaeology. He was unable to complete any very important work in such a short time. This is probably the reason why later he was almost forgotten. Jākobsons’ contribution to Latvian archaeology was again brought to light a decade or so ago (Jākobsons, F., ‘Austrumbaltijas dzels laikmeta pētījumi’, Latvijas vēstures muzeja raksti Nr. 6. Arheoloģija, Rīga, 1999), but a more thorough assessment of his legacy is still awaiting research. The book discussed here is one of the first attempts to do this (the version of his dissertation, defended in Königsberg in 1927, that survived in Latvia was published in Germany in 2009, under the title Jakobson F. Die Brandgräberfelder von Daumen und Kellaren im Kreise Allenstein, Ostpr. Daumen und Kellaren – Tumiany i Kielary, VOLUME I I OF AESTIORUM HEREDITAS
