Similar to other advanced semiotic systems, we differ three aspects in the magic fairy-tale - creation The study deals with the analysis of the source Consignatio Processionum ex Decanatibus Parochii in Marchionatus Moravia existencibus annue Duci Solitarum (1771, written in Latin and deposited in the archive funds of the Olomouc Consistory, which brings knowledge concerning pilgrim activities in Moravia, or, more precisely, in the diocese of Olomouc in 1771. The source lists 448 locations in total, from which people made collective pilgrimages or processions, several villages from one parish frequently setting off on a common pilgrimage. On the basis of the analysis of Consignatio processionum [...] we can find out that during 1771, pilgrims from the whole of the diocese of Olomouc set off on journeys to 328 places. Out of these 328 places, 91 were places of pilgrimage of varying importance (including places abroad), in further 70 places we cannot claim with certainty that we deal with a place of pilgrimage of local importance, or if people made a pilgrimage there in connection with the church or chapel patronal feast day. On the basis of the established data, we can form an idea about the density of the pilgrim traffic, the number of the places visited, or for example the destinations of the pilgrims beyond the borders of Moravia (whether Polish Częstochowa, Hungarian Šaštín, or Styrian Mariazell), and a number of other factors connected with carrying out collective pilgrimages.
In Grave 95 of the burial ground at Holubice an amulet was found at the left shank of the buried individual, where a rock crystal pendant was replaced by another valuable object – a 1st/2nd century Roman rock crystal ring. Rings of this type are known almost exclusively from Rhineland and Gaul. The specimen from Holubice represents an "eastern outlier" which, moreover, was found beyond the frontiers of the Roman Empire. The possibility that its last female owner has found it by chance thus can be ruled out. The ring most probably reached the Lombard territory by means of trade or exchange of gifts. This distribution pattern of valuable antiquities was evidently widely used in the early medieval period but it implies systematic collection of accidentally discovered as well as intentionally unearthed finds.
In 2008 the Institute of Archeological Heritage Presevation in Brno in collaboration with MZM Brno confiued field surveys using metal detectors at selected La Tene localities in Moravia. The surveys targetted settlements attached to the power centre of the La Tene Age in the village of Němčice (Prostějov region) and in the Boskovice depression. Collections were aslo obtained over two surwey periods from Roman sites in the village of Rakvice in south MOravia and in the village of Dolní Němčí-Vlčnov in south -east Moravia. Apart from the artifact and the information they yielded, the survey also revaeled more general knowledge about the sites, which unambiguously shows the necessity of carrying out metal detector prospecting by archaeological instituions. The finds have considerably enriched our knowledge of the Middle Bronze Age period (exemplified by a needle with an eyelet of a Lower Silesian origin) and of the Roman period (exemplifield by a brooch of Aucissa type, a brooch with cut out bow, brooches A 129 and bronze moulds for the production of the Early Roman bridles of the Vimose type., Miloš Čižmář .. .[et al.]., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
During 2009, ÚAPP Brno in conjunction with MZM Brno continued surveys using metal detectors at selected Moravian La Tène sites. The field survey has focused particularly on investigations of the settlement hinterland from the La Tène period in Nˇemˇcice near Prostˇejov and the surrounding settlements, sites in the Boskovice Furrow and the Staré Hradisko Celtic oppidum. Artifact assemblages were also recovered from two surveys of several sites in southern Moravia. Apart from the individual finds and the information they yielded, the surveys also provided more general information. These results reaffirm the view that it is necessary for archaeological institutions to conduct such metal detector surveys. The new finds have clearly added to our knowledge, particularly with regards to the La Tène culture, with the finding of a palmette-shaped belt-clasp from Drnholec, mask handle base from Polkovice, "Dreiblattknopf" from Hevlín and two brooch fragments of a so far unknown type from Staré Hradisko, and unusually for the early Slavonic period north of the Danube, a rare Byzantine belt-clasp fragment (from Bedihošt’). Another artifact which further attests to the importance of metal detector surveys is a Late Roman brooch of the Hrušica type found at Dyjákovice, the first such find in the Czech Republic., Miloš Čižmář ...

During 2010, ÚAPP Brno in conjunction with MZM Brno, continued surveys using metal detectors at selected Moravian La Tène sites. The field survey has focused particularly on investigation of the settlement hinterland of the oppidum Staré Hradisko and the power centre from the La Tène period at Nˇemˇcice na Hané, on the area of Nˇemˇcice settlement and in the smaller degree also on sites in the Boskovice Furrow. Collections of finds were also obtained over two survey periods from several sites in south Moravia. Apart from the artifacts and the information about these sites they yielded, the survey also revealed more general knowledge, which reaffirm the necessity of carrying out metal detector prospecting by archaeological institutions. The new finds have clearly added to our knowledge, particularly with regards to the La Tène period, with the finding of a plastic head from Nˇemˇcice, and for the Roman Age with the finding of a provincial anchor-shaped brooch from Kuˇrim, the present time rare in Moravia. The finds from two sites are important for understanding of communication between Moravia and Bohemia along the Svitava River., Miloš Čizmář, Jana Čižmářová, Martin Kejzlar., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
K málo prozkoumaným výrobním odvětvím v protohistorii Moravy patří činnosti spojené s hutněním železa. V Olomouci-Neředíně bylo spolu s časně laténskou keramikou nalezeno více než 80 kg strusek, úlomky rud a velké množství tepelně postižené hlíny. Ani v jednom případě se ale nepodařilo spojit jejich výskyt s výrobním zařízením. Hutněna byla především ruda typu Lahn-Dill, která musela být transportována ze vzdálenosti 20–25 km. Radiokarbonová data ze zuhelnatělého dřeva pocházejícího ze strusek odkazují do počátku doby halštatské, lze však předpokládat, že výroba probíhala v pozdní době halštatské či spíše v časné době laténské a v radiokarbonových datech se odrazil „old-wood effect“. Vzhledem k rozsáhlému odlesňování krajiny v okolí Olomouce v mladším pravěku je zvažováno zásobování produkčního místa dřevěným uhlím z širšího okruhu 15–20 km. Nálezy strusek z Olomouce-Neředína představují nejstarší doložené stopy hutnění na Moravě. and Among the little-investigated specialised production in Moravian Iron Age are activities related to iron metallurgy. Together with La Tène pottery, more than 80 kg of slag, fragments of ore and a large amount of heat-affected clay was found at Olomouc-Neředín, however, it was not possible to link their occurrence with production installations. Lahn-Dill-type ore was mainly processed, which had to be transported from a distance of 20–25 km. Radiocarbon dating of carbonised wood that came from slag points to the beginning of the Hallstatt period; it can however be assumed that production took place in the Late Hallstatt period or, rather, Early La Tène, and that the ‘old-wood’effect was reflected in the radiocarbon dating. Due to extensive deforestation of the landscape around Olomouc in later prehistoric times, the function of a supply area for wood coal from the vicinity of 15–20 km is under consideration. Finds of slag from Olomouc-Neředín are the earliest documented traces of bloomery smelting in Moravia.
The paper examines the identification, distribution, chronology and interpretation of Roman-Provincial rimmed storage vessels, which were among the Roman imports to the area north of the Danube in the 2nd century and the first half of the 3rd century. The spread of Roman coarse ware storage vessels occurred in the second half of the 2nd century. These are mainly found in Elbe-Germanic settlements (usually in sunken huts) in southern Moravia and south-western Slovakia. Some were quite voluminous (e.g. the storage vessels from Jevíčko and Křepice were up to 50 litres) and probably contained a variety of plant or animal foodstuff (e.g. seafood, exotic fruits, and various fermented or chilled foodstuffs).
The study follows the lives of top state administrative representatives in Moravia who were affected by the fall of the Habsburg monarchy and the formation of Czechoslovakia. The new state adopted the state administration and administrative workers of the Habsburg monarchy. The rate of continuity of the administrative staff was relatively high; however, the demise of the monarchy still influenced the lives of many employees in the state administration. German nationals were hit hardest, and were often forced to cede important positions to new Czech office holders. The replacement of the last Moravian governor Karl Heinold by Jan Černý is one example - the tale of the dusk of one top official and the dawn of another. and Článek zahrnuje poznámkový aparát pod čarou
Článek představuje nález cášského keramického rohu z prostoru zaniklé středověké vsi Rakousky, dnes k. ú. Kralice na Hané, okr. Prostějov, který disponuje spolehlivým nálezovým kontextem. Jedná se o první bezpečně rozpoznaný exemplář tohoto specifického druhu artefaktu z území Moravy a jeden z mála kusů pocházejících z českých zemí vůbec. Jeho publikace rozšiřuje dosud známé spektrum devocionálií (nejen) cášského původu a v rovině obecné ilustruje zbožnost, a především vysokou mobilitu středověkého člověka. and The article presents the find of a ceramic pilgrim horn from the deserted medieval village of Rakousky in the cadastre of Kralice na Hané, Prostějov district, Central Moravia, a site that provides a reliable find context. The artefact is the first positively identified specimen of its kind in Moravia and one of the few from the Czech lands as a whole. The publication of the find expands the known spectrum of devotional (and other) artefacts of Aachen origin and, on a general level, illustrates the piety and, above all, the high mobility of medieval man.
With the end of MIS3, the unity of larger Gravettian settlements based predominantly on mammoth exploitation split into a mosaic of smaller Epigravettian sites with specific behaviors and economies. Based on C14 chronology, the site of Stránská skála IV (together with Grubgraben, Ságvár and Kašov), correlates with a brief warm period after the Last Glacial Maximum around 22 ka calBP. We detected two main accumulations of predominantly horse bones under a rock cliff suggesting that the site was not a regular settlement but rather a specialised hunting site. No features or hearths were recovered. Lithic raw materials were imported from long distances, and the horse hunting strategy profitted from the specific geographic qualitites of the site. Preferential location of Epigravettian sites in secluded valleys is a pattern generally recognized in Moravia and usually explained as a response to the harsh MIS2 climates. and Po skončení relativně příznivější periody MIS3 se původní jednota velkých gravettských sídlišť, převážně závislých na exploataci mamutů, proměňuje v mozaiku menších stanovišť epigravettienu (MIS2), které dokládají specifické chování a loveckou ekonomiku případ od případu. V letech 1985–1987 jsme pod skalním srázem na severním úbočí Stránské skály prozkoumali dvě centrální nálezové kumulace o průměru 5–7 m, tvořené převážně koňskými kostmi, prostoupené vápencovou sutí a nečetnou štípanou industrií epigravettienu (obr. 1–3; předběžně Svoboda 1990; 1991). Nálezy byly uloženy v nejvyšší části pleistocenní spraše, místy postižené následnou pedogenezí (obr. 4). Nebyly odkryty žádné sídelní struktury, tedy objekty ani ohniště, což ukazuje na specializované loviště využívající příhodný terén. Na základě radiokarbonové chronologie periody MIS2 a posledního glaciálního maxima (LGM) koreluje lokalita Stránská skála IV (spolu s lokalitami Grubraben, Ságvár a Kašov) s chladným obdobím GS-2.1c kolem data 22 ka calBP (Clark et al. 2009; Rasmussen et al. 2014; Hughes et al. 2016), ale podle paleobotanických analýz (viz níže) nebyly lokální klimatické podmínky tak drastické, jak bychom v této době očekávali.
