The article presents the results of traceological studies of two harp seal bacula, from the Šventoji 3 site (coastal Lithuania). As a result of the microscopic observations carried out, technological and functional microtraces were discovered on both artefacts. The analysis of the use-wear traces, which are better readable only on one of the artefacts, allowed for a hypothesis that they arose as a result of contact with well-tanned and dry hide. This made it possible to assign to the studied artefacts the function of objects of everyday use, having direct contact with this material. The findings were illustrated with the current knowledge on the use of bacula in prehistory, historical times and among archaic communities known from ethnographic observations.

Described is here Mastogloia jahniae sp. nov. a species new to science from Skatan on the Baltic Sea, east coast of Sweden. Description of this new species is based on light and scanning electron microscopy. The new species is classified in the Mastogloia section Ellipticae and is characterized by having radiating short and long striae around the central area, sinuous raphe branches and partecta displaced toward the middle of the valve by a siliceous flange. M. jahniae sp. nov. in terms of size is rather small whereas in terms of ecology appears an epipelic brackish water species. The new species was rather rare in all samples collected from Skatan and has not been found in the other adjacent regions sampled. A comparison with similar established Mastogloia species is provided.

This article explores the development of market integration within the Baltic Sea region and with England, from the 1840s to the late 1880s. It exploits two new datasets on grain prices. The degree of market integration is estimated using a wavelet variant of dynamic factor analysis that takes account of both time and distance. Additionally, we use the London corn market as the benchmark for the degree of market integration. Our results show that the role of distance disappeared in the wheat and rye, but not in the oats and barley trade, as the Baltic Sea Region became integrated into the Atlantic economy.
