with linguistic data: methodological, typological and area-specific studies
<https://sites.google.com/view/upld2025/home>”, to be held on *March 14–15,

with the focus on methodology and area-specific studies. We encourage
submissions addressing (but not limited to) the following questions:

   - methods and data to explore prehistorical past of particular areas
   including research on migrations, ethnic or social composition of past
   societies
   - how to combine linguistic evidence with the archeological and/or
   genetic evidence in order to produce reliable conclusions
   - how to combine the traditional toponymic research with quantitative
   approaches
   - specific case studies on particular areas and locations
   - research on human past along the Daugava river
