In 2008 the Institute of Archeological Heritage Presevation in Brno in collaboration with MZM Brno confiued field surveys using metal detectors at selected La Tene localities in Moravia. The surveys targetted settlements attached to the power centre of the La Tene Age in the village of Němčice (Prostějov region) and in the Boskovice depression. Collections were aslo obtained over two surwey periods from Roman sites in the village of Rakvice in south MOravia and in the village of Dolní Němčí-Vlčnov in south -east Moravia. Apart from the artifact and the information they yielded, the survey also revaeled more general knowledge about the sites, which unambiguously shows the necessity of carrying out metal detector prospecting by archaeological instituions. The finds have considerably enriched our knowledge of the Middle Bronze Age period (exemplified by a needle with an eyelet of a Lower Silesian origin) and of the Roman period (exemplifield by a brooch of Aucissa type, a brooch with cut out bow, brooches A 129 and bronze moulds for the production of the Early Roman bridles of the Vimose type., Miloš Čižmář .. .[et al.]., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
During 2009, ÚAPP Brno in conjunction with MZM Brno continued surveys using metal detectors at selected Moravian La Tène sites. The field survey has focused particularly on investigations of the settlement hinterland from the La Tène period in Nˇemˇcice near Prostˇejov and the surrounding settlements, sites in the Boskovice Furrow and the Staré Hradisko Celtic oppidum. Artifact assemblages were also recovered from two surveys of several sites in southern Moravia. Apart from the individual finds and the information they yielded, the surveys also provided more general information. These results reaffirm the view that it is necessary for archaeological institutions to conduct such metal detector surveys. The new finds have clearly added to our knowledge, particularly with regards to the La Tène culture, with the finding of a palmette-shaped belt-clasp from Drnholec, mask handle base from Polkovice, "Dreiblattknopf" from Hevlín and two brooch fragments of a so far unknown type from Staré Hradisko, and unusually for the early Slavonic period north of the Danube, a rare Byzantine belt-clasp fragment (from Bedihošt’). Another artifact which further attests to the importance of metal detector surveys is a Late Roman brooch of the Hrušica type found at Dyjákovice, the first such find in the Czech Republic., Miloš Čižmář ...
