Later than in the wet of Europe, it was only in the course of the 12th century that the water wheel caught on in Bohemia and Moravia. At the same time hand-powered mills were still requently being used. Until the end of the 12th century most water mills as well as water courses were the property of princes, so permission to run an existing mil or to build a new one had to be granted. The location, design of and technology used in mediaeval mills in our vicinity have not been archaeologically researched. The hypotheritcal appearance of such mills and what equipment they had can be modelled based on the results of research abroad, since similar structures might also have been in use in mediaeval Bohemia and Moravia., Lucie Galusová, Martina Maříková., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
Close to Kuřim, in the „Záhoří do klínů“ fi eld, a large settlement of the Linear Pottery culture was excavated, revealing several pits with Moravian Painted Pottery culture (MPP). This article focuses on one of these features (number 168), the only one to contain a large number of ceramic items. Analysis of the material shows that the pottery shares many common features with pottery from phase Ib MPP; however, there are also some differences, for example the specifi c shapes of knobs and the absence of incised decoration. It is probable that the Kuřim site is one of a small number of known sites dated to the fi nal phase of the old stage of the Culture with Moravian Painted Pottery (phase Ic)., Eliška Kazdová., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
The article summarizes the current state of knowledge of bridges and river channels in the 9th century Mikulčice. It defines the basic themes of a new project, which is expected to synthesize unique large-scale excavations of filled -up river channels in Mikulčice. The excavations took place between 1966 and 1984 and yielded wooden structures and artefacts — uncommon for this region. The main focus of this article is the structural features and dating of three archaeologically documented wooden bridges. Two of the structural designs are specific to the local water features. Bridge designs include classical river structures used by Celts and Romans, as well as a design similar to lake bridges known from regions settled by north-western Slays. The most well preserved bridge (No. 1) allows dendrochronolo gical dating and detailed reconstruction. Many questions remain unanswered regarding bridges, archaeological and palaeoecological reconstructions offilled-up oxbows., Lumír Poláček., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
The article summarises the results of Samian ware analyses. They were discovered beneath the Pavlov hills (southern Moravia) and originate from a Germanic settlement and from a Roman military base camp on the Hradisko Hill near Mušov. The variety of Samian ware permits a good reconstruction of the development of Germanic settlement in this area, between the second half of the 2nd century and the first third of the 3rd century AD, which was influenced by the presence of Roman military troops on the Hradisko Hill near Mušov, during the time of the MarcomannicWars., Soňa Klanicová., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
Popůvky near Brno is a well known Neolithic locality. Rescue excavations carried out by the Institute of Archaeological Heritage Preservation (ÚAPP Brno) have provided new material for study. The analysis of this material has provided new information relevant to the chronology of human occupation. The site has been investigated by carrying out surface prospecting over a long period. Analyses of the recently excavated material are presented with an emphasis on the Moravian Painted Ware culture settlement (O. Lečbychová), accumulations of surface fi nds with analyses of Šárec type Linear pottery settlement (M. Kuča) and analyses of a ground stone industry from the rescue excavation and surface fi nds (M. Vokáč)., Olga Lečbychová, Martin Kuča, Milan Vokáč., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
Studie se pokouší rekapitulovat základní vývojové tendence a charakterizovat současný stav archeologického výzkumu v oblasti středověké těžby a zpracování rud v Čechách. Snaží se upozornit na některé problémy a nedostatky provázející tuto specializovanou oblast bádání jak ve sféře sběru a analýzy dat, tak na úrovni teorie a interpretace. Česká středověká archeologie by měla systematickým propracováváním analytických a interpretačních možností svých pramenů zvýraznit svůj podíl na řešení technologických, ekonomicko–sociálních, sídelních, kulturních a ekologických otázek spojených se středověkou exploatací surovin. and This study attempts to recapitulate the basic developments in, and describe the present state of, archaeological research in the areas of medieval ore extraction and processing in Bohemia. It aims to draw attention to the major problems and issues linked to this specialised research area, both in terms of the collection and analysis of data and at the level of theory and interpretation. Czech archaeology should systematically develop the opportunities for analysis and interpretation provided by its sources to emphasize their contribution to the resolution of the technological, socio–economic, settlement, cultural and environmental questions associated with the medieval exploitation of raw materials.
Detašované pracoviště Archeologického ústavu AV ČR, Brno, v Mikulčicích vzniklo současně se zahájením archeologického terénního výzkumu na slovanském hradišti Mikulčice-Valy před šedesáti lety v r. 1954. Původní základnu na akropoli hradiště, označovanou též jako mikulčická archeologická expedice, nahradila v roce 2013 nová výzkumná základna v poloze Trapíkov. and Lumír Poláček.
