Originating from the discussions in 2002 that germinated new ideas and interpretations on East Baltic archaeology, the Baltic Archaeological Seminar (or simply BASE) has since then steadily developed into an international forum opened to new views, theoretical interpretations and approaches.
The title of the third BASE seminar was "Memory, Society, and Material Culture". Questions related to the meaning of the past both in different periods of history and at the present have attracted considerable attention among historians, archaeologists, anthropologists, etc during the recent decades. However, up to now, the issues related to memory in archaeological record have not been discussed in the Baltic archaeology; thus, BASE members considered the seminar to be a reasonable opportunity to discuss the perspectives and potential of the study of memory in the Baltic prehistory and archaeology.
