The medieval pottery was obtained during archaeological excavations in the years 1997–2001. The proposed chronological model, which provides the basis for further pottery research, was created based on analogical pottery assemblages from adjacent regions. The model is verified (by statistic methods) and refers to the historical context of the site. Further comparison to other sites suggests production-distribution linkages to this part of West Bohemia, which was a sparsely settled region in the Middle Ages.

The absence of masonry structures makes it impossibe to study the castle core. However, the preserved land relics reflect the basic layout of the castle complex and enable to locate some economic facilities in its close proximity. Furthermore, the reconstruction of the castle and the whole estate is facilitated by written sources conveying the changes in these structures in the north of the Plzeň region. The article also contains the assessment of archaeological sources acquired in the course of surface collections, the most important among which is a series of chamber tiles with relief motifs.

Abstract: This article discusses stove ceramics yielded by archaeological research conducted at Gutštejn Castle in 1997–2001. In the course of the assessment of artefacts it was possible to identify at least four chronological phases (from the mid-15th century until the second half of the 16th century) that differed through the used materials and the variability of morphological parts, as well as, in particular, through the relief motifs on chamber tiles. Some motif variants are unique and have no known analogies, while others correspond with finds from other sites. Despite their fragmentary nature, the presented series expand the source base and help specify information about the equipment of the castle’s residential quarters.
