Abstract
Dzintars Austrumbaltijas piekrastē izskalots, vākts un apstrādāts kopš vēlā akmens laikmeta. Tradicionāli dzintara izstrādājumiem galvenokārt veikta tikai to tipoloģiskā analīze, mazāk pētījumi pievērsušies izstrādājumu tehnoloģiskajai izpētei. Maģistra darba ietvaros izstrādātā eksperimentālā pētījuma gaitā izvirzīti un pārbaudīti vairāki svarīgi un neskaidri procesi saistībā ar dzintara izejmateriāla apstrādi akmens laikmeta beigās Austrumbaltijā. Eksperimentālie pētījumi devuši nozīmīgu praktisku ieskatu par procesiem, kas saistīti ar dzintara apstrādi, par dzintara kā apstrādājamā materiāla īpašībām, kā arī materiāliem un tehnikām, kas ir efektīvas dzintara apstrādē. Izmantojot trasoloģijas metodi, identificētas konkrētas eksperimentālajos pētījumos atdarināto tehniku pazīmes uz dzintara virsmas, kas novērojamas arī Siliņupes arheoloģiskajā kolekcijā. Konstatēts, ka formas izveidē plaši izmantoti krama darbarīki, izšķirot četras apstrādes tehnikas: atskaldīšana, atspiešana, drāšana un skrāpēšana. Savukārt virsmas slīpēšanā izmantots smilšakmens.
Amber has been washed up on the East Baltic Sea coast since the Late Stone Age, where it was collected and worked into ornaments. Traditionally, only typological analysis of amber artefacts has been carried out, fewer studies have focused on the technological aspects of amber processing. During the experimental research developed as part of the master's thesis, several important and unclear processes related to the processing of amber material at the end of the Stone Age in the Eastern Baltic have been proposed and tested. Experiments have provided important practical insight into the processes involved in amber treatment and the properties of amber as a material to be processed, as well as the materials and techniques that found most effective. Using the traceology method, specific features of the techniques imitated in the experimental studies were identified on the processed amber surface, which could also be observed on Siliņupe amber artefacts. It was concluded that flint tools were widely used in surface treatment, distinguishing four processing techniques: flaking, pressure flaking, shaving, and scraping.
