The programme responds to the growing need for integrative approaches in environmental archaeology, a field increasingly shaped by the expansion of high-resolution datasets and the method…
A Multidisciplinary Approach to Environmental Reconstruction and Viticulture at Roman St. Petkina Niva in the Ohrid Region, North Macedonia
The first isotopic insight into the Bronze Age dietary transition in the area of present-day Czechia
Cementochronologie v archeozoologii: Přiblížení věku a sezóny lovu zvěře z raně středověkého hradiště Na Jánu v Netolicích prostřednictvím analýzy zubního cementu
Cementochronologie zaměřená na analýzu přírůstků acelulárního cementu v zubech lovených savců dovoluje relativně přesně zhodnotit jejich stáří a stanovit období v roce, kdy byli uloveni. Obě informace mohou přiblížit využívání přírodních zdrojů živočišného původu a načasování jejich dostupnosti nebo dovolují pochopit sezónní dynamiku aktivit tehdejších společností spojených s konkrétními místy. Studie nejprve představuje výsledky ověření metody c…
At the edge of Neolithic transition: Strategies of the Linearbandkeramik farmers in South Bohemia (Czechia)
This project focuses on the subsistence strategies of Early Neolithic communities that inhabited the upland region of South Bohemia. Its results reveal a distinctive trajectory for this peripheral area that was colonised significantly later, brought incoming farmers into close contact with hunter-gatherers and made them adapt their conservative farming practices
Jihočeská hradiště z přelomu starší a střední doby bronzové / South Bohemian Hillforts During the Transition from the Early to Middle Bronze Age
Článek shrnuje poznatky o hradištích z přelomu starší a střední doby bronzové v jižních Čechách, kterých bylo dosaženo moderními výzkumy, geofyzikálními průzkumy a detektorovými prospekcemi v letech 2013–2020. Za jistá hradiště lze označit pouze lokality s moderně prozkoumaným a jistě datovaným opevněním. Jsou jimi Kostelec, Vrcovice, Skočice a Všemyslice – Kozí vrch. Dále je z regionu známo ještě dalších 22 potencionálních hradišť. Rozborem arch…

The Magdalenian site of Hostim, Czech Republic, Central Europe. New insights into the old Record: Seasonality within the Bohemian Magdalenian
Stav izotopových výzkumů stravy, rezidenční mobility a zemědělského hospodaření populace Velké Moravy (9.–10. století)
Příspěvek souhrnně představuje a propojuje výsledky dosavadních izotopových studií populace Velké Moravy, především obyvatel mikulčické aglomerace, zaměřených na rekonstrukci stravy, migraci, ale i způsoby zemědělského hospodaření ve sledované oblasti. Interpretuje i doposud nepublikovaná data vypovídající o stravě jedinců pohřbených v interiérech mikulčických kostelů (n = 10) a o rezidenční mobilitě jedinců z Mikulčic se specifickými hrobovými p…
Neolithic rondels in Central Europe and their builders: An Analysis of Multi-Rondel Sites
Monumental enclosures are a widespread phenomenon of the European Neolithic. One category of enclosure is the mid-fifth-millennium BC rondel sites of Central Europe. In parts of this region, rondel sites are grouped, drawing attention to notable differences in individual rondel forms. Here, we use Bayesian modelling of radiocarbon dates from the ditches of two rondels at Praha-Krč, Bohemia, to demonstrate their contemporaneity. In turn, this info…
What was on the menu? Mesolithic cooking and consumption practices in inland central Europe based on analysis of fireplaces
The Benefits of Using Radiocarbon Dating and an Interdisciplinary Approach for Identifying Contamination of Archaeological Find Assemblages. A Case Study from the Multi-period Settlement Site at Rakov…
The contamination of archaeological find assemblages at multi-period (and other) sites can sometimes go undetected. In this article we seek to highlight this problem through analysis of the fill of settlement features from a site at Rakovice, South Bohemia, Czech Republic. After a detailed spatial evaluation of different categories of finds, an analysis of plant macroremains, and radiocarbon dating, what had originally appeared to be a clear-cut …
Pig-Breeding Management in the Early Medieval Stronghold at Mikulčice (Eighth–Ninth Centuries, Czech Republic)
The archaeozoological analysis sets point to the vital role of pigs in the subsistence economy of Early Medieval Mikulčice, an important Great Moravian centre (Czech Republic). The results of slaughtering distribution analyses indicate that pigs were a meat source for a consumer population. Analyses of stable isotopes of nitrogen and carbon suggest that the demand for pork was predominantly met by animals raised by extensive husbandry. . In addit…
Livestock as an indicator of socioeconomic changes in Medieval Prague (Czech Republic)
Trendy v konzumaci masa a dalších živočišných produktů ve středověké Praze
Soubory zvířecích kostí a zubů datované do 8. až 14. století byly shromážděny při archeologických výzkumech na několika místech Prahy (Pražský hrad, Malá Strana a Staré Město). Získaný osteologický materiál představuje odpad vznikající převážně při úpravě a konzumaci masa. Jeho detailní vyhodnocení se zaměřením na druhové složení, úmrtní věk a pohlaví zvířat přináší bližší informace nejen o složení stravy a kvalitě masa, ale i využívání dalších ž…
Crops along the trade routes? Archaeobotany of the Bronze Age in the region of South Bohemia (Czech Republic) in context with longer distance trade and exchange networks
Integration of Linearbandkeramik cattle husbandry in the forested landscape of the mid-Holocene climate optimum: Seasonal-scale investigations in Bohemia
From LBK to SBK: Pottery, Bones, Lithics and Houses at the Neolithic site of Hrdlovka, Czech Republic
The paper is focused on the period of cultural change at the turn of 6th and 5th millennia BC, when the uniform Linear Pottery Culture (LBK) occupying an extensive area disintegrated in several local groups or cultures, including the Stroked Pottery Culture (SBK) emerging in the regions of Bohemia and Saxony. The data comprising pottery, animal bones, lithics, as well as architectural attributes from Hrdlovka site, situated in northwest Bohemia, …
Economy and Environment of a Medieval Town Reflected in Wells Backfill in Písek, Bakaláře Square (South Bohemia, Czech Republic)
Two secondary backfilled wells and remnants of a walled building, likely a school, were excavated during a salvage excavation of a medieval part of Psek, Bakale Square (South Bohemia, Czech Republic) in 2008. Well 1 was completely uncovered, whereas only the upper part of well 2 was excavated; the wells being dated to the 14 th century A.D. Well 1 was examined by bioarchaeological methods (analyses of plant macroremains, anthracology and xylotomy…

What Did They Eat, What Did They Drink, and from What? An Interdisciplinary Window into Everyday Life of the Early Modern Burgher’s Household in Český Krumlov (Czech Republic)
The South Bohemian town of Český Krumlov, a UNESCO world heritage site, the former residence of the noble family of the Rosenbergs, is a unique mirror of the Bohemian Renaissance and Baroque. Extremely rich archives, maintained by both the town and the nobility, were for a long time the only sources providing evidence about the everyday life during the period of the town's highest prosperity. Thanks to developing post-medieval archaeology and res…

The new insights into the subsistence and early farming from neolithic settlements in central Europe: The archaeozoological evidence from the Czech Republic
The archaeozoological evidence from two Neolithic settlements occupied in the periods of the Linear Pottery Culture (LBK) and the Stroke Pottery Culture (SBK) has provided new insights into the way of life of early farmers in the Czech Republic. Though LBK and SBK sites are abundant, only isolated studies allow one to reconstruct stockbreeding practiceson the basis of archaeozoological and isotopic data. Our results confirm that livestock provide…
