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
The Pilsen-Senec Mesolithic station is situated on the left banks of the Berounka River, 14-16 meters above its current level, in an industinct saddle 326 m above sea level. The chipped stone industry form Pilse-Senec has a distinctly diverse material composition. The raw material are predominantly local and include different varieties of hornstone, lydite, slate, quartz, sandstone and limonite. Imported materials are represented by Nordic flint, differnet varieties of Bavarian hornstone and northwest Bohemian quartzite (Bečov, Skršín and Tušimeice types). The cipped stone industry from Pilsen-Senec is a relatively large collection of artifacts (2 069 pieces) with madny different raw materials. Trhe pridution part of the collection is absolutely predominat. The number of microliths and retouched artifats is very small. Hammerstones,anvils and heating stones are also presnet. Covetional typological analysis has differentiated between two groups of artifacts. The first group has characteristic Mesolithic microliths - such as Komornica type points, sements, a triangle, Borki type blade, and microblades. A tendecy toward microlithization is also indicated by several other tools such as end-scrapers, burins and awls. The second group consists of artifacts typical for the late Paleolithic period, for example a convexed backed point, chisels, awls,, bacek blades, lateral burigns and long blades. Using the typical approach, it would seem appropriate to divide the complex itno twoo cultural complexes- late Paleolithic and Mesolithic., Jan Fridrich, Ivana Fridrichová-Sýkorová, Milan Metlička., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
This work summarizes the results of the excavation of Opava-Kateřinky Lusatian graveyard.
