The article presents the results of house plot research in the historical core of Mikulcice-village in the southeastern Moravia. Remains of sunken storage rooms representing parts of surface houses dated to the Late Middle Ageswere uncovered underneath a more recent structure. This evidence sheds new light on the vernacular architectureof the period and has provided an array of artefacts representing the inventory of rural homesteads for two chronological periods (end of the 14th century- 1st half of the 15th century and the last quarter of the 15th century-turnof the 15/16th century). Research has also provided an extensive dataset of ecofacts, enriching our understandingof village life, Pavel Vařeka ... [et al.]., and Obsahuje seznam literatury

Authors draw attention to certain problems which should not be missed especially concerning the last step of archaeological methodology i.e. in attempting to interpret discovered archaeological sources with respect to a living culture,i.e. a historical society. This article outlines several possibilities that may explain the so-called burials in settlementcontexts. All of the examples discussed were encountered in the area of Mikulcice - a Great Moravian power centre.The authors also introduce several possible interpretations of these field situations with respect to the living culture.They consider (similarly to other researchers) the possibilities and difficulties of chronological, social, economic, political as well as symbolic interpretations of material sources. In concluding this work, the authors emphasize thatall examples discussed, point to the necessity of carefully distinguishing between archaeological and empirical factson the one hand, and cultural facts that are not available to archaeologists, on the other hand. In light of the proposedconclusions, the revision of „old“ excavations in the area of early Medieveal fortified agglomeration Mikulcice-Valydemonstrates the need for acquiring new data of a quality matching the current methodological requirements. and Obsahuje seznam literatury
The study summarizes the development of ecclesiastical organizations in the Czech lands before 1200, taking into account the wider European context. The author first draws attention to the difficulties associated with the number and character of the preserved sources. Then he problematizes the traditional notion of ecclesiastical dignitaries as mere servants of the duke, confronting the question of tithes and examining evidence of the activity of the archdeacons and archpriests. In conclusion, he focuses on the question of building the parish organization and subscribes to the notion that this was not a centrally controlled activity, but rather a local initiative, although supported by the bishop. and David Kalhous.
