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
Radiocarbon dates and pottery typology from the hilltop settlement of Hlinsko are discussed with respect to the chronology of the Boleráz Group in Moravia. Additionally the results are compared to new Dates from Jevisovice and Brno-Líšeň as well as to the total corpus of Radiocarbon dates connected to Boleraz-fi nds in other regions. The Moravian dates show that the Boleráz Pottery in that region is not used until after 3520 BC, whereas there are older dates in Lower Austria and Hungary, starting about 3650 BC. The end of the Boleráz pottery style in Moravia is harder to detect. The 14C dates from Hlinsko, but also one additional date in Wojnowice in Upper Silesia point towards the presence of a “Post-Boléraz-Group, where Boleráz-, Funnel Beaker and some scant Classical Baden elements are mixed in a local pottery style, contemporary to the different Classical Baden Groups in neighbouring regions. Thus, in the western part of Moravia, the chronological sequence is Boleráz (3520–3350 BC), Post-Boleráz (3350–3100 BC), Jevisovice B (3100–2800 BC). Regarding the pottery typology and Radiocarbon Dating of Hlinsko, the pit inventories discussed do not display a Proto-Boleráz and a subsequent Boleráz Phase, as traditionally labelled, but rather a continuum showing a mixture of Funnel Beaker Pottery with Boleráz Elements to Funnel Beaker with Boleráz and scant Classical Baden infl uences (the latter equalling “Post-Boleráz”), clearly different from the typical Boleráz or Classical Baden Inventories known further south., Martin Furholt., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
