At present, the catalogue of early mediaval bridges in the nort-western part of territory with Slavic settlement contains 81 localities: 47 in Germany and 34 in Poland. In some of them more than one bridge (2 to 3 structure) was documented, bringing the total number of bridges to 101. Construction dates, different prhases in the lives of the bridges and dates ranges for when they were reapired were obtained based on dendrochronology and spartial-chronological analysis. The present anaylsis deals with 48 bridges from 37 localities in north-west Slavic territory: 22 in Germany and 16 in Poland. In 16 cases more or less probable reconstructions have been made and four basic types of bridges ascertained., Gerard Wilke., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
Continuity and discontinuity of the settlement in the La Tene and Roman periods on the example of the Hrubieszow Basin: Hrubieszów Valley presents a unique opprtunity for investigating cultural changes occurring over a seven hudred year period. The evidence also suggest population replacemnt. Initially - the Czerniczyn group (the 3rd-1st centruy B.C.) is connected with the movements of Bastarns, followed by the Zarubiniecka culture (turn of 1st centruy B.C.) - which was related to an ethnically undefined group originating in eastern Europe. Thirdly - The Przeworks cutlrue (pahase B2/C1-C1a) is related to the Vandals who retreated to the south away from the Goths. Ulów type people appeared in the Hrubieszów Valley and in the area to the south during the 5th century. They way have been associated with the Heruls who moved from the Danube river territory to their "original homeland" in the beginning of the 6th centruy. Shortly afterwards, the first Slavic finds appear., Andrzej Kokowski., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
This study is based on the author‘s paper entitled „Przemiany kulturowe na prełomie epok kamienia i brazu na Morawach i wokól Moraw w świetle przemysłów krzemieniarskich“ wirtten as part of a habilitation thesis completed at the Socio-Historical Faculty of the Rzeszów University. Polish and English versions of this paper are available on the Central Committee for Scientific Degrees and Titles (Warsaw, Poland) web page. Due to the wide scope of the issue, this work includes only a review of lithic industries from Young Eneolithic (Jevišovice, Bošáca and Globular Amphora cultures) until the end of the Early Bronze Age (the Věteřov group) on the territories of Moravia and Czech Silesia. Comprehensive analyses of typology, technology and changes in raw material preferences have revealed specific evolutionary patterns. Cultural transformations towards the end of the Stone Age resulted in the formation of the Bronze Age in eastern Central Europe. The research indicates that Moravia played an important role in these transformations, significantly influencing the adjacent regions (Lower Austria, Bohemia, Silesia and southwest Slovakia)., Lubomír Šebela., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
Analyses of lithic materials of the Jevišovice culture from five sites of major importance (Brno-Malomˇeˇrice, Brno- Starý Lískovec, Grešlové Mýto, Jevišovice–Starý Zámek, and Vysočany) indicate that – in general terms – they are more similar to Early Aeneolithic assemblages than to the so-called terminal assemblages. This conclusion is based on the presence of regular pre-shaped cores for blades, series of regular blade blanks, and "classic" blade tools, including endscrapers, burins, and truncated blades. However, certain "terminal" elements (frequent utilization of local rocks, high proportion of functional tools, common denticulated retouch) are also evident., Jerzy Kopacz, Lubomír Šebela., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
The author has conducted surface surveys within the Příbor cadastral territory over the last 35 years. This has resulted in a discovery of dozens of surface artifact clusters. Morphological characteristics of these artifacts suggest that some of them represent remnants of Mesolithic sites and possibly also Late Paleolithic sites., Jan Diviš., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
This paper presents a defi nition of Mikuszowice chert. Fourteen types of Mikuszowice chert have been identifi ed. These results are useful for identifying fl int artifacts in the Outer Carpathians. Mikuszowice chert artifacts have been identifi ed in inventories dated to different time periods from the Upper Paleolithic to Early/Older Bronze Age. At present, 39 sites with Mikuszowice chert are known. The most important of these sites is a complex of 8 sites in Jaworze. The chert artifacts occur within 100 km of their source. The chert was collected during surface surveys or in primary and secondary deposits., Eugeniusz Foltyn, Leonard Jochemczyk., and Obsahuje pouzitou literaturu
