Morphology of the halfblind Hostěnice Valley was established based on electric resistivity sounding and seismic measurements. A limestone bottom of the valley is situated at altitude 350 m a.s.l bellow ca. 30 m thick fluvial or lacustrine clayey and sandy deposits. At the limestone and non-karstic boundary a 20 m high step was formed. The bottom of the valley (350 m a.s.l.) corresponds with the older cave corridors in the nearby Ochozska Cave forming probably Pliocene cave level. During the Quaternary main cave passages were deepened leaving the older corridors in a hanging position.

The paper brings a brief evaluation of archaeological researches which took place on the hillfort site Sovice in July of 2007 and 2008 in cooperation between the Department of Archaeology of the University of West Bohemia in Plzeň and the Podřipské museum in Roudnice nad Labem within the framework of the project “Landscape archaeology and the development of prehistoric settlement in the Podřipsko region".

Abstrakt: Článek se zabývá archeologickými situacemi a nálezy, které je možné datovat do druhé poloviny 13. až první poloviny 14. století a lze je spojit s nejstarší historií města Počátky. V tomto období mělo město protáhlé vřetenovité centrum, které bylo nejpozději na počátku 16. století rozděleno kamennou hradbou na menší náměstí kolem kostela sv. Jana Křtitele a nechráněné jižní předměstí. Obě plochy byly postupně archeologicky zkoumány v letech 2010–2016. Hlavní část článku představuje vyhodnocení keramického souboru ze zahloubeného suterénu na Palackého náměstí. Dále jsou zde publikovány drobné soubory kera-miky z výzkumů na Mariánském náměstí, ze soukromé sbírky p. Matouška a ze sbírek muzea v Počátkách.

This paper introduces a newly begun research project conducted by the Silesian Regional Museum (Slezské zemské muzeum) in Opava which aims to thoroughly document folk architecture in the regions affected by coal-mining and industrial activities, i.e. the region around the cities of Karviná and Ostrava in Czech Silesia. Field research and the concurrent archival research will focus on previously undescribed log houses, some of which are currently under threat. The methodology used in this project and described in this paper is based on previous research conducted in Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia, with special focus on interdisciplinary cooperation.

Anthracological analysis of samples originating from early medieval features at the settlement, which is located in the floodplain of a former branch of the Jizera River (for more details see Profantová – Prostředník 2014), established the presence of 13 tree species. Oak was represented most frequently, followed by Scots pine, common hornbeam, maple, beech and ash. The analyzed assemblage is characterized by three different types of samples/features. The first type of feature is remarkable by an abundant representation of charcoal and a relatively rich species composition. The second type is characterized by a limited species composition and a small amount of charcoal. The third type of sample contained very little charcoal or even no charcoal at all, but some kind of porous material resembling slag was represented there as well. The species-rich samples most probably represent non-selectively gathered firewood. Such firewood more or less points to the presence of oak-hornbeam fore...

The central Bohemian hillfort-type site in Tismice is one of the largest (20–22 ha) in Bohemia from the Early to Middle Hillfort period (8th–9th century) and has been studied for years using non-destructive methods. The study, which presents the results of the complete geophysical survey of the site as well as the results of small-scale trenching from 2013, is focussed on an analysis of non-ferrous metal ornaments (c. 170 pcs., mostly belt and horse harness decorations) and analyses of evidence of craft production – jewellerymaking, metalsmithing and metal casting (ingots, blanks). It presents the earliest evidence of work with gold in early medieval Bohemia (2018 excavation) as well as natural science radiocarbon and magnetic absolute dates, which supplement dating on the basis of Carolingian coin and imports. The internally divided hillfort was an elite residence (gilded ornaments, spurs, coin) and for a short time served as a supra-regional centre that not only received and redis...

Extraordinarily valuable house no. 22 in the village of Zbečno (Rakovník district) underwent complex construction development in the Early Modern period. The oldest preserved structures date from the 16th century, and significant reconstruction work took place in the 18th century. However, the origin of the house is substantially older. The article presents the comprehensive results of an archaeological excavation performed in a pair of living rooms and in the courtyard of the homestead. In the stratified layers beneath today’s floors, it was possible to distinguish the remains of three consecutive medieval houses, the internal layout of which corresponded to the floor plan of today’s house. Two of these houses were destroyed by fire. Pottery dates the construction of the earliest house to the period between the second half of the 13th century and the first half of the 14th century. Although the current walls are slightly shifted in plan from the medieval development stages, the ori...

The residential area in Brno - Červený kopec is multifunctional new part of the city of Brno. Urban development based on the Žlutý kopec and Veveří. Historically, the studied area is located at the brickyard Kohn, who is now a brownfield site. The idea was to create a readable and clearly definable urban structure in relation to the proposed road network. The core area is dense five-storey mixed-use residential buildings with commercial parterre, which makes maximum use of space and brings order to the scattered houses in the area

The paper presents three new finds of brass inscription rings from two sites: a complete ring with an in scription in Romanesque majuscule of the turn of the 12th and 13th centuries found in one of 123 graves at the early medieval cemetery in Zbečno and fragments of two inscription rings from systematic metal detec tor prospecting at the Dřevíč hillfort. Readings of the inscriptions and their possible interpretations are presented. All three rings show identical elements-production by casting, decoration by imitation of pearl string, and script. The text on the completely preserved ring from Zbečno ([B]N EST IC H GLIA BN ESTO) is largely identical to the text on the fragment of ring 2 from Dřevíč (BN ES A). This fact seems to indicate the existence of a jewellery workshop that produced rings in series. The comparison of the fragments of two inscription rings from the Dřevíč hillfort with the complete inscription ring from the cemetery in Zbečno has prompted a previously unconsidered and all the more important connection between the two sites. The very rare finds of inscription rings in a burial context from the 11th-13th centuries suggest that the buried persons belonged to a narrow circle of the contemporary elite. inscription ring-Roman majuscule script-sacral inscription-nomina sacra-grave find-Zbečno-Dřevíč

Abstract: The dark coatings and crusts on the walls of the Cisařska cave (the Moravian Karst) were studied. Some of them contain the increased amounts of manganese, up to 7 wt. % of MnO. Based on SEM and EDXR analyses, phases with 27 to 50 wt. % of MnO were identified. By X-ray diffraction, however, any regular Mn-minerals were not found. The cave fresh water (t = 8°C, Eh = 0.474V, pH = 7.02, aMn2+ = 0,045 ppm Mn) was unsaturated to Mn-minerals. Some of the dripping waters (t = 8°C, Eh ~ 0.478 to 0.514 V, pH ~ 7.9 to 8.05, aMn2+ ~ 0.001 to 0.009 ppm Mn) approached the equilibrium with pyrolusite and manganite. The sources of manganese and the mechanisms of transport are discussed.

Díky stálé terénní aktivitě se v posledních dvou desetiletích podařilo na Moravě opakovaně zachytit žárové pohřby mladší doby bronzové, které spojuje řada shodných znaků v čele se specifickou úpravou hrobové jámy-dosahuje tvaru a rozměrů obvyklých pro kostrové pohřby. Ukázkovým příkladem je trojice hrobů odkrytá v roce 2011 na katastru obce Podolí u Brna, na níž lze dobře demonstrovat specifické rysy pohřebního ritu, které se k tomuto typu pohřbů vážou. K nim je možné připojit výčet několika analogických příkladů z jihomoravského a středomoravského prostředí a zejména pak z přilehlé části Dolního Rakouska a na širším vzorku pak vyzdvihnout řadu podobností. mladší doba bronzová-žárové pohřby-paleobotanika-antropologie-geofyzikální prospekce Thanks to ongoing excavations, Late Bronze Age cremation burials have been repeatedly discovered in Moravia over the past two decades. The graves share many identical traits and especially a specific treatment of the grave pits, which feature a shape and size typical for inhumation burials. A prime example is a trio of graves excavated in 2011 in the site of Podolí u Brna that demonstrate specific traits of the rite linked to this type of burial. Several parallel examples come from south and central Moravia and especially from the neighbouring parts of Lower Austria, a wider sample that reveals numerous similarities.
