Supra-Regional Cultural Exchange in the Carpathian Bronze Age: Import of the Amphora or an Idea
Ground obsidian artefacts from an Early Eneolithic site in Nitra-Selenec (Slovakia)
Obsidian was an important lithic raw material in the prehistory of the Western Carpathians. Whereas the use of knapped obsidian in this region is well known, the production of polished artefacts remains undocumented. Two obsidian finds were unearthed in 2009–2010 during the excavation of an Early Eneolithic (4300–4000 BP) site in Nitra-Selenec. Grinding was combined with pressure knapping, and the purpose and position of grinding in the operation…
A unique stone mould for casting a spearhead from Morkůvky in South Moravia as an example of long-distance import in the Urnfield Period, and its technological contribution
The paper provides a comprehensive analysis of a well-preserved half of a stone mould, accidentally found in the village of Morkůvky (Břeclav District). Although it is a stray find, it is characterised by above-standard informative value from the point of view of both typology and technology, as well as in terms of raw material provenance. According to macroscopic traces and XRF–XRD analyses, bronze was poured into vertically erected halves of th…
Life Cycle of the Wooden Well at the Early Neolithic Settlement in Velim, Czechia
Water management in the Early Neolithic period was a significant aspect of daily life indicating the complex relationship between communities and their environment. The wells were not only central to the provision of water but also played roles that could evolve and change during their lifetime. This article focuses on the Early Neolithic wooden well and its infill at the Velim site in central Bo¬hemia (Czech Republic), whose construction has bee…
Late Holocene Environmental Changes and Human Subsistence in an Alluvial Landscape: A Case Study from the Pohansko Site on the Dyje (Thaya) River in Czechia
We examined the data from the floodplain settlement at Pohansko to uncover environmental changes, vegetation development, and floodplain dynamics that influenced the settlement's history and subsistence strategies. Most of the landscape was deforested during the Middle Holocene, while woodlands primarily limited to the alluvium were not significantly affected by human occupation. Human impact gradually increased from the Late Iron Age, peaking in…
Revising the chronology of the Darband Wall in Central Asia
The Darband Wall in southern Uzbekistan marks an important political border in the Classical world, yet the dating of its construction is largely relative and contested. Presenting 10 new radiocarbon dates from the wall, the authors argue that construction began in the early or middle third century BC, likely under Seleucid or early Greco-Bactrian rule, while later reconstruction efforts coincide with Kushan expansion around the first and second …
Highland transformation: Human impact in the Bukov Brook valley (Bohemian-Moravian Highlands) from Prehistory to the modern era
The potential of low-destructive characterization of archaeological sites with stony and eroded soils through geostatistics at the Celtic oppidum of Bibracte (France)
New method merges stats with geo records to pinpoint activity zones in Bibracte. • Finds more human activity in south Bibracte, like La Chaume. • Despite data issues, analysis links geochemical data to human activity. • High magnetic, phosphorus, and calcium levels in south hint at intense past activities. • Combines methods for deep insights into Bibracte, aiding future archaeological research. Urbanization during Europe's Late Iron Age brought …
Life on Pálava Hills in the Urnfield period through the perspective of a metal-detecting survey
Pálava is a complex of prominent limestone hills in South Moravia, with extensive traces of prehistoric activities. This study presents the results of a long-term metal-detecting survey of the Pálava Hills and their surroundings. It focuses on findings dated to the Bronze Age and especially to the Urnfield period with 673 from the topsoil recovered artefacts. The study monitors the functional composition of the items within the dataset, as well a…
Pottery as a witness of commercialization: The case of 9 th -century ‘Great Moravia’
Der vorliegende Artikel präsentiert eine archäologische Methode zum Nachweis marktwirtschaftlichen Austausches anhand von Keramik, die hier als typische Handelsware definiert ist. Ein Keramikkomplex aus dem großmährischen (9. Jh.) Zentralort Staré Město bei Uherské Hradiště wurde archäometrisch (XRF, Petrographie, XRD) untersucht. Das Ergebnis zeigt ein komplexes Handelsnetz zwischen dem Zentrum und Teilen des Hinterlandes. Weiterhin bestätigen d…
Battlefield Archaeology of the First World War in Norhteastern Slovakia
On the Slovak side of the Carpathian mountains, the archaeology of the First World War had long been completely outside the scope of research interest. At the same time, conflicts in this region had played a very important role in the initial phase of the war. Here, the Austro-Hungarian army blocked the invasion of the Russian army into Hungary with all its might. This lack of attention changed in the last decade with surveys conducted by our tea…
Tracing the spatial organization and activity zones of an Early Mediaeval homestead at the Pohansko stronghold (Czechia) by combining geophysics and geochemical mapping
Geoarchaeological prospection techniques were applied to identify activity zones and the inner structure of a homestead at the Early Mediaeval site Pohansko near Břeclav (Czechia). By a combination of geophysical methods, the spatial distribution of microartefacts, geochemical analysis and multivariate statistical analysis, we outlined various manifestations of anthropogenic activity. We examined obtained data by Spearman's correlation coefficien…
Radiocarbon Dating of Grass-Tempered Ceramic Reveals the Earliest Pottery From Slovakia Predates the Arrival of Farming
In the absence of wood, bone, and other organics, one possible candidate for determining the age of a site is the radiocarbon ( 14 C) dating of pottery. In central Europe during the Early Neolithic, pottery was ubiquitous and contained substantial quantities of organic temper. However, attempts at the direct dating of organic inclusions raises a lot of methodological issues, especially when several sources of carbon contribute to the resulting ra…

Beyond Technology: Pottery Reveals Translocal Social Relations at a Bell Beaker Monumental Site in Central Europe
The Bell Beaker site near Brodek u Prostějova (Czechia) has yielded remains of a large timber construction accompanied by four symmetrical ritual deposits with numerous artefacts, including more than fifty ceramic vessels. Their decoration consists of incised patterns, in nineteen cases with preserved white inlaid incrustations. To investigate the social relations at this extraordinary site, a multi-analytical and micro-destructive approach was e…

Wooden Well at the First Farmers’ Settlement Area in Uničov, Czech Republic
Some of the most extraordinary finds from the Early Neolithic period are wooden wells. These constructions permit unusual insights into Neolithic settlements, their subsistence and environment, as well as into the surrounding landscape. A recent excavation of a Neo lithic settlement at Uničov in central Moravia, Czech Republic, yielded the discovery of a wooden well with a sediment infill from the beginning of the Neolithic period and allowed to …

Hrnčířská produkce na nížinném sídlišti ze starší doby bronzové: Hulín-Pravčice, střední Morava
Keramika věteřovské skupiny je považována za vrchol hrnčířské produkce starší doby bronzové. Pečlivá povrchová úprava a podobný vzhled nádob vedly řadu badatelů k předpokladu, že tato keramika je dílem profesionálních hrnčířů. Tato studie hodnotí vybraný segment hrnčířské produkce z rovinného sídliště věteřovské skupiny v Hulíně-Pravčicích, a to na základě analýzy 49 vzorků keramiky ze čtveřice zahloubených objektů. Metodika byla orientována na u…
Původ obsidiánové suroviny v pravěku Čech
Práce přináší výsledky první geochemické analýzy provedené na pravěkých obsidiánových artefaktech z území Čech. Ke studiu bylo vybráno jedenáct vzorků s důvěryhodným datačním kontextem. Převážnou většinu analyzovaných vzorků je možné zařadit do období neolitu. Artefakty byly analyzovány dvěma nedestruktivními geochemickými metodami: hodnoty koncentrací zjištěné metodou pXRF byly kalibrovány pomocí výsledků LA-ICP-MS. Na základě výsledků je možné …
