Baltic Coast Culture settlements existed only in the northern segment of the Baltic coast. The previously published research data on the spread of this culture in the continental part of the Eastern Baltic region do not correspond to reality. Studies of the ceramics found in Baltic Coast Culture sites in Lithuanian territory have shown that they belong to the late stage of Baltic Coast Culture, the formation of which was strongly influenced by Corded Ware and Globular Amphora Cultures. A large inventory (ceramics, flint axes) belonging to Globular Amphora Culture has recently been discovered in Lithuanian territory. The common features of Corded Ware and Globular Amphora cultures, which are very pronounced in the Corded Ware ceramics found in Continental and Baltic Coast Culture settlements, have created the impression that the Baltic Coast Culture could have expanded into the continental part of the Eastern Baltic Region. The development of Corded Ware Culture in both the Baltic coast area and the Continental area was uniform. As a result, the specific features of Corded Ware Culture ceramics became very pronounced in ceramics from Baltic Coast Culture. Ceramics from continental Corded Ware Culture did not converge with ceramics from the Neolithic forest communities and consequently remained distinctive. Similarities in ceramics from Baltic Coast and Corded Ware Culture settlements appear in Corded Ware Culture that developed in the Eastern Baltic region but not in the continental part of Baltic Coast Culture. Material from the latest research and an evaluation of previously studied material do not allow Baltic Coast Culture to be ascribed to the group of Corded Ware cultures. The communities of Corded Ware and Globular Amphora Cultures significantly influenced the economic life of the Baltic Coast Culture. However, members of Corded Ware Culture who continued to live in the territory of Baltic Coast Culture adopted essential aspects of the economy of Baltic Coast Culture, such as fishing, seal hunting, the mining of raw amber, and the manufacture of amber articles.
