Summary. Measurements of the declination, inclination and intensity of the archaeomagnetic field have been made on samples collected from 175 sites in south‐eastern Europe. The results reveal both long and short term fluctuations in the ancient virtual dipole moment as well as providing a record of the virtual pole position over an 8000 yr period.
