This study explores issues that arose during the course of two 1980s salvage excavations in the historical centre of Brno, Dominikánská street (No 11–19) and Kobližná (No 3) street. Many remains of 13th–17th century settlement were found, including wooden and stone houses with cellars, cesspits, storage pits etc. Most of the wooden houses in Dominikánská street were destroyed, probably by fi re in 1356. Written sources suggest that most inhabitants in Dominikánská street during 14th and 15th centuries were craftsmen. In the 15th century, more food processing artisans were present than in the preceding century, some social growth was detected. In the 14th and 15th centuries, the Kobližná 3 plot was occupied by members of the upper class. and Obsahuje seznam literatury
This paper presents preliminary evidence from new excavation at Pavlov I, a well-known Gravettian/Pavlovian site now prepared for the construction of a museum. In addition to the aims of large-scale preparatory and salvage excavations evoked by the construction, our focus was on more detailed stratigraphies of the cultural deposits and on spatial organisation of this extensive settlement. Obviously, Pavlov I has a longer prehistory (including early Gravettian and Early Upper Paleolithic layers in the subsoil) and a more complex spatial structure (including an adjacent mammoth bone deposit) than was previously thought. However processing and interpreting the associated paleobotanical, archaeozoological and archaeological material will be a long-term task., Jiří Svoboda, Martin Novák, Sandra Sázelová., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
This study examines a polycultural site Hradiště u Louky located in southwestern Moravia. The main aim is to introduce a new archaeological and historical model based on data from the surface survey, metal detecting and probing. Mainly non-destructive methods were used in this research. A new settlement phase from Jevišovice culture was documented. The onset of Medieval settlement in the area most likely dates to post-Great Moravian and Late Hillfort periods. The most intensive anthropogenic activities date to the high Medieval period when a small castle fortified by a moat and a rampart was built. Archaeological artefacts from the younger phase of the Medieval settlement possess chronological features of the 2 nd half of the 13 th and the 1 st third of the 15 th century. Also, to clarify the sequence of the owners of the castle and possible causes of its demise, a revision of written accounts was performed., Jaroslav Bartík, Lenka Běhounková, Stanislav Vohryzek, Josef Jan Kovář, Hana Poláchová, Michaela Kokojanová, Hana Nohálová., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
Archaeological research in 2015 in the interior of St. Cross church in Javornik brought new knowledge about its construction and historical development. The oldest floor level was probably identified. It appears that during the Hussite campaign in 1428 the building was damaged and subsequently repaired. We also managed to identify and date the next three floor levels, building of new church entrances, and also alterations of the interior - construction of baptistery (no longer exists), side altars, construction and subsequent demolition of the gallery and singer‘s tribune. Graves were also investigated. Five skeletons were found in burial pits and 2 skeletons in brick tombs., Peter Kováčik, Veronika Dudková, Hana Lafková., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
The author presents the preliminary results of the excavation of the Mikulčice acropolis fortifi cation near Church II. Any rampart is the largest such structure built by the Mojmír dynasty. The importance of this particular fortifi cation lies in the fact that it is the rampart of the main area of one of the top Great Moravian centers of power that protected, among other things, a number of religious buildings and a district with the only properly documented stone palace of a Great Moravian ruler. Great Moravian rampart is composed of a stone face wall, clay-wood core strengthened by grates and a stone substructure ringed by stake palisades, in front of, and in some places partially under, the face wall. The substructure’s role was most likely to bear the face wall’s weight and to strengthen the artifi cial slope under it against water erosion by the nearby river. The conclusion poses the main issues and unknowns that remain to be discovered and answered about the Mikulčice fortifi cation, Marian Mazuch., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
