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
