Abstract
ABSTRACT Using a surviving set of monthly confiscation reports covering the period between August 1793 and March 1794 (23 cases in total), this article examines smuggling in the territory subordinated to the Palanga customs on the Lithuanian-Prussian border. The article aims to reveal the patterns of smugglers’ behavior, the characteristics of individuals involved in contraband, as well as the state’s response to these illegal economic activities. In addition to other more context-specific conclusions, the research reveals how even a small corpus of data can allow us to analyze the phenomenon of smuggling from a qualitative perspective.
