The Amber Road of Medieval times is traced over modern states. Today's Lithuania is not the same as earlier Lithuania. One of the biggest amber mining is located in Ukraine, yet it is not mentioned. In Ukraine even are cities named after amber such as Burshtyn, Novoiavorivsk and others. Aleksandr Grigoryev (talk) 23:10, 13 February 2019 (UTC)
- The Ukrainian amber had an easy sea route out of Ukraine, and may have bypassed the Amber Road. If you have published sources on which to base them, feel free to make additions to the Amber article.--Quisqualis (talk) 10:18, 15 February 2019 (UTC)
- Aleksandr_Grigoryev -- the historical importance of the amber road(s) is that they brought the Baltic sea area (where lumps of amber were found along the seashores) into indirect trade contact with Mediterranean civilizations, long before there was any direct presence of literate civilizations in northern Europe. Medieval amber mining in the Ukraine could be very interesting, but it doesn't fall under the topic of this article... AnonMoos (talk) 16:48, 16 February 2019 (UTC)
