An international program focused on expanding concept and methodology for human past studies in eastern baltics countries
ECHO is a journey through secrets of human history during the post-Bronze Age in Eastern Baltic area
Comprehensive understanding of the human past in the Eastern Baltic area requires well-coordinated cooperation between various disciplines and excellent analytical competence. Acknowledging this, the EU-funded ECHO project is consolidating expertise from archaeologists, geneticists and anthropologists across Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania and is teaming up with advanced centres from Belgium and Denmark to untangle the intricacies of human evolution and cultural dynamics in the region.
Cutting-edge tools and management techniques will drive this interdisciplinary endeavour, shedding light on overlooked regional developments in the post-Bronze Age period. Through ECHO’s collaborative network, Eastern Baltic research will gain prominence on the global stage, enriching our understanding of the origins of human diversity.
Through cutting-edge methodologies and field research, ECHO project aims to make a meaningful impact on developing better interdisciplinary knowledge of human past in eastern baltics countries.
If you’re curious to learn more about our findings, methodology, or ongoing development, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
