Early Eneolithic settlement on the bed of the Plumlov Reservoir. In 2011, archaeological research was carried out on prehistoric habitation, which came to light during the removal of sediments from the fl oor of the Plumlov Reservoir. The relics of prehistoric habitation were found on former right bank of the river Hloučela, bordered from the south by the Myslejovice Ridge which is part of the Drahany Upland. The geomorphology of the landscape in this area reminds of a natural amphitheatre, whose mouth was occupied in prehistoric times. The research conducted has proved Neolithic, Eneolithic and Early Bronze Age habitation. This paper pays attention in particular to Early Eneolithic habitation, namely to late Lengyel and Epi-Lengyel relics. From the point of view of relative chronology, the Early Eneolithic habitation falls within a time span delimited by the II phase of Moravian Painted Ware Culture on the one side and the latest phase of the Jordanów culture on the other side. It is one of the few examples of continuous human habitation during the entire Early Eneolithic period., Miroslav Šmíd., and Obsahuje seznam literatury.
The use of metal detecting devices by the general public and the resultant plundering of archaeological sites is still one of the most painful issues in Czech archaeology. No simple or satisfactory solutions have been found. The aim of this paper is to objectively summarise the last 25 years of unrestricted use of metal detectors in the Czech Republic and its impact on the archaeological component of cultural heritage and on archaeology itself. The paper presents a quantitative model of metal detecting activities sourced from the available data. The results are employed to illustrate the effect of metal detecting activities on archaeological knowledge and to outline some related theoretical and methodological questions., Aleš Navrátil., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
