Ernée, Michal, Pravěké kulturní souvrství jako archeologický pramen. Urgeschichtliche Kulturschicht als archäologische Quelle. Památky archeologické - Supplementum 20. Praha: Institute of Archaeology, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, Prague, 2008, 162 pp. with figs., tabs. and graphs. Czech with German summary. ISBN: 978-80-86124-91-9 This work focuses on prehistoric stratigraphic sequences as archaeological source. The first part summarizes and generalizes the history and results of the investigation of prehistoric and early medieval stratigraphic sequences from Bohemia and beyond. The second part considers the relation between settlement layer and the micro-relief, using the example of Prague 9-Miškovice. The third part is devoted to the analysis of the detailed excavation in 2001 of Late and Final Bronze Age settlement layers in Prague 10-Záběhlice. The author emphasizes the sometimes paradigmatically based dismissive relation to this type of archaeological source, the problems of excavations and risks at their interpretation. |

Four main building phases have been reconstructed, the chronology established and the area interpreted as sacred place. The analysis points to the site’s outstanding position in Bohemia and proves its contacts to neighbouring as well as distant regions – including the Mediterranean. To the textual part a catalogue of the finds and 5 appendices with the results of scientific analyses (human and animal bones, plant remains, metallography) are added. An extensive summary and a complete translation of the concluding part close the book. The publication has been supported by the Grant Agency of the Czech Academy of Sciences. |

Pleinerová, Ivana: Březno und germanische Siedlungen
der jüngeren Völkerwanderungszeit in Böhmen.. Mit Beiträgen von Radomír Pleiner und Zdeněk Tempír. Praha: Archeologický ústav AVČR, Praha, v.v.i., 2007. x+245 pp. with figs., pls., tabs. and 2 plans, German with Czech summary. ISBN: 978-80-86124-68-1 The book consists of two parts. The first one deals with the settlement of Březno itself. Besides movable effects it concentrates on building features (pit houses, post hole plans, storage pits) and the settlement structure. Three areas can be distinguished in the ground plan, serving for manufacture, storage and dwelling. The basic unit of a Germanic settlement is represented by the irregular courtyard house, the so-called Haufenhof. Two units of that type were recorded in Březno. The settlement can be dated to the first half of the 6th cent. A.D., in absolute dating between 510 and 560 A.D. The second part of the book is dedicated to contemporary Germanic settlements in Bohemia. Their low number – 18 – corresponds to the situation in East Central Europe. |

Harding, Anthony - Šumberová, Radka - Knüsel, Christopher et al.: Velim - Violence and Death in Bronze Age Bohemia
- The results of fieldwork 1992-95, with a consideration of peri-mortem trauma and deposition in the Bronze Age. Praha: Archeologický ústav AVČR, v.v.i., 2007, 192 pp. with figs. and tabs., English. ISBN: 978-80-86124-12-4 Velim (Central Bohemia) is one of the most important sites of the Bronze Age of Central Europe dating to the end of the Middle Bronze Age. Opinion has been divided between those who favour a ritual explanation of the site and those who see the extensive human skeletal material as resulting from a hostile attack. The present volume describes the investigations carried out between 1992 and 1995 by a British team. In addition to the presentation of the finds, there is an extensive discussion of the human and animal bone, with a consideration of its significance for our understanding of the treatment of the dead at Velim. Radiocarbon dating suggests a date for the transition to the Urnfield period earlier than traditionally accepted. The volume is a companion to that published in 2000 describing the Czech excavations between 1984 and 1995. |

The Neolithic settlement can be dated to the interval of the middle phase of the Linear Pottery Culture to the late phase of the Stroked Pottery Culture. Significant are features (namely the exceptionally rich granary no. 31) reflecting the existence of a transitional phase between the Linear and Stroked Pottery Cultures (phase StK I).

The prevalence of acid soils, negligible quaternary sedimentation as well as intensive denudation resulted in the limited preservation of the primary contexts. Partly preserved were only some of the sites within the time span from the Magdalenian up to the Mesolithic. Attached are analyses by I. Horáček - P. Pokorný (Environmental background for the oldest settlement in South Bohemia), and A. Přichystal (Lithic raw materials of pre-Neolithic settlement in South Bohemia). |

Pavlů, Ivan: Life on a Neolithic site. Bylany – situational analysis of artefacts. Praha: Archeologický ústav AV ČR, 2000. 340 pp. with figs. and maps, Czech summary (reprinted edition on CD, 2006) ISBN: 80-86124-24-X The volume offers situational analysis of different kinds of movable and immovable artifacts. The world of physical facts is dustinguished from the subjective experiences as well as objective theories. The attributes for each kind of artifact are arranged according to their form, function and design or style. They create a base for formal, functional and stylistical classifications. Not only ceramics or stone implements but also houses as well as the whole settlement are considered as artifacts. Because all finds represent only a refuse from the living culture, the structures of these finds are distorted in archaeological contexts by unspecifiable destructive processes. The presented interpretation of the life on a Neolithic site has to be considered as one of the possible historical images of that period. |

Moucha, Václav: Hortfunde der frühen Bronzezeit in Böhmen. Praha: Archeologický ústav AV ČR, 2005. 292 pp. with figs., 217 tabs., Czech summary. ISBN: 80-86124-57-6 The book is also available only on CD (ISBN: 976-80-86124-09-4) - price 4 EUR The volume presents hoards of metal objects of the Early Bronze Age in Bohemia. It concerns the Únětice culture, where the deposition of bronze artefacts was frequent in the later phase. The hoard finds are classified according to Paul Reinecke’s chronological system (phases A1, A2, A2/B1). The structure of the hoards reflects the position of Bohemia on the boundary line of two different production zones: the southern (Danubian) and the northern (the territory of the „northern“ Únětice culture). It is difficult to tell whether the hoards have a profane or ritual character ; a situation made worse by the frequently inadequate information on find circumstances. Over 2000 objects are analysed and the majority illustrated. The text is supplemented by tables presenting detailed data on the artefacts (metal composition, dimensions, weight etc. |

Kuna, Martin et al.: Počátky raného středověku v Čechách. Praha: Archeologický ústav AV ČR, 2005. 593 pp. with figs. and pls., CD, English summary. ISBN 80-86124-51-7 This volume summarizes the results of a series of archaeological excavations carried out on the northern edge of Prague in Roztoky during 1980-1989. Among other finds a large agglomeration of settlement features from the 6th and 7th centuries AD has been discovered here. These finds belong to the so called Prague Culture which is believed to represent the earliest Slavic populations in Central Europe. The unusually high number of early medieval houses and their location on the floor of a deep canyon-like valley is to much extent enigmatic. During the following period all activities on the site terminated, one of the earliest medieval hillforts was, however, built on the opposite side of the river. |

ISBN 80-86124-49-5 Excavations at the Capitular Church of SS Peter and Paul at Vyšehrad in Prague, the second most prominent basilica of the Přemyslid state, have been conducted by the Institute of Archaeology in Prague since 1966. The entire exterior ground area of the church was excavated from 1968-1991, while the interior of the contemporary church was investigated in 1981-1985. Seven construction periods were recorded, the oldest being romanesque from the times of the foundation of the church by the prince and first King of Bohemia, Vratislav II (1061-1092). The following reconstructions were held by Soběslav I, Eliška Přemyslovna, the last Přemyslid queen, and finally Charles IV. The last of the structural changes imprinted upon the church a High Gothic character which can be compared with the southern French basilicas (Toulouse, Narbonne). The volume not only summarizes the results of the archaeological investigation but also presents data gained by analyses of glass and tiles, and by anthropological, archaeozoological, petrological and dendrochronological research. |

Praha: Archeologický ústav AV ČR, 2003. 176 pp. with pls., English summary. ISBN 80-80624-39-8 The main topic of the book is an analysis of building accounts from the years 1372-1378. Contrary to older literature the study treats the accounts as a homogeneous source where all the entries are related to each other. A systematical synchronic and diachronic collation of the records reveals interpretative limits of the source and enables to describe the building activities week by week. Besides the activities of different participating crafts, the accounts inform about prices of building materials, tools, salaries, currency rates, carrying capacity of carts, building terminology etc. With the help of other not only written sources, we get an overview over supplies of raw materials from Prague hinterland including information about interaction between different crafts employed at the construction site and economical aspects of medieval building. |
