The Moravian Painted Ware Culture settlement in Slavíkovice “Ostánce“ represents one of the most elaborately excavated sites in the peripheral area of western Moravia. The microregion is situated in the foothills of the Czech-Moravian Highlands at a relatively high altitude. More than forty MPW Culture sites have been recorded, mostly corresponding to its younger phase. The current study presents the results of recent surface surveys as well as minor detective and rescue probing. Apart from the large number of finds, a radiocarbon date has assisted in placing the site within the absolute chronology framework of the Moravian MPW Culture (Kuča et al. 2012). A detailed analysis of the archaeological findings allowed comparisons to other similarly dated sites in the area of interest and with the other peripheral regions in south-western Moravia (Bartík 2014a, 22, fig. 6). An attempt at reconstructing the paleoclimate forms an integral part of this study., Jaroslav Bartík, Milan Vokáč, Martin Kuča, Alžběta Čerevková, Lubomír Prokeš, Miriam Nývltová Fišáková., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
This article presents a Moravian Painted Ware culture site Březník in the Czech-Moravian Highlands. The emphasis is on evaluation of surface finds in the „Střední hon“ field and assessing the archaeological material and geographical aspects. The new findings are placed in a regional context with regard to the area between Oslava and Chvojnice rivers as well as in the wider context (southwest Moravia). We also compared it to a nearby Moravian Painted Ware site located in the „Zadní hon“ field. Interestingly, although Březník is located on the periphery of the known Neolithic occupation zone, the peripheral effect is not apparent at this site (as it is at other sites considered to be located on the periphery). One particularity of this region is a high concentration of muscovite (obtained from local schist outcrops) in the ceramic matter. The lithic sources are mostly local and regional (Brno Massif, Boskovice Furrow and Krumlovský Les cherts). There are also some raw materials imported from great distances (metabazite of the Jizerské hory type, obsidian, erratic chert and Polish cherts). Based on the chronology, material culture and geographical position, Březník – „Střední hon“ can be placed into the early phase Ib (Lengyel I) of the Moravian Painted ware culture., Jaroslav Bartík, Lenka Běhounková, Martin Kuča., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
1_A disturbed Linear Pottery Culture pit was investigated in 2007 at Studénka – “Záhumení”. A rescue excavation was carried out in April 2010. Twelve sunken features were excavated. Recovered material included 775 pottery fragments, 105 stone artefacts, as well as ceramic weights, a fragment of a stone weight used in a fishing net, a flat hoof axe, etc. The ceramics can be dated to the IIb LPC settlement phase. Lithic analysis suggests that this was a secondary processing site. The Cracow Cz˛estochowa Jurassic chert accounts for a very high proportion of lithics (85.7 %) - the highest proportion of any statistically significant assemblage in Moravia and Czech and Polish Silesia. Only few pieces of the local erratic flint are present (8.6 %). Studénka - "Záhumení" as well as other (at least two) similar sites (e.g. Bravantice – has been partly investigated, 81 % of raw material is Cracow Cz˛estochowa Jurassic chert) form a chain of sites (microregion), located in several-kilometer intervals near the Oder River, although they do not appear to be linked to the river. Each site is located independently of each other on a left-hand short tributary and gives the impression of an initial settlement which did not grow further. A chain of sites predisposes left-bank route of long-distance communication deduced for later prehistoric period and early Middle Ages., 2_It probably developed during the height of Cracow Cz˛estochowa Jurassic chert transport to Moravia or even to Silesia, during the LPC II phase, and subsequently declined during the LPC III phase. The purpose of the sites was to participate in raw material transport. This pattern probably emerged in the Opava region, but it may also have originated in the Beˇcva Gate or Cracow regions. The left-bank settlement has evidently no connection with the contemporaneous LPC settlement on the other side of the river (at the microregions and cadasters Štramberk Blahutovice, located 15–20 km), where the presence silicites Cracow Cz˛estochowa Jurassic form an exception., Vratislav Janák, Aleš Knápek, Kateřina Papáková., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
In 2003 a part of the Neolithic settlement was discovered at Postřelmov „U Františka“ (district Šumperk). The site „U Františka“ is located among Postřelmov, Rovensko and Zábřeh above left bank of the Rakovec stream. The altitude is 248–288 m a. s. l. There were excavated about 625 pits including Neolithic longhouses. Feature number 206 was situated in the east part of the site. This feature was a large building pit. The material (ceramic fragments and stone industry) from this feature belonged the Linear Pottery Culture (LPC) and the Uppersilesian Lengyel Group (ULG). The ceramic fragments of the LPC can be ranked into the phase IIb and/or III of the LPC chronology (Čižmář 1998, 117–120, 124,129, 134) and the lengyel ceramic into the phase ULG I of the ULG chronology (Janák 1991, 99-102; Janák 1994, 111)., Petr Kašpárek., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
The article deals with school reports on gains and properties of schools and their masters (the so called "fassiones" in Latin). It focuses on the part of archive of Bohemian Gubernium containing school reports from 1775 to 1792. Previous Czech historians as Josef Hanzal or Jan Šafránek examined these reports especially with the use of quantitative methods, but the goal of this study is to show that more points of view are possible and available. More details about the problems of schools and teachers, content of school instruction, and employed books and tables could also be found in this kind of source., Michal Kneblík., and Obsahuje bibliografické odkazy
