Born to be broken? deliberate fragmentation and its pattern and mechanics in the case of Neolithic anthropomorphic figurines from the settlement site Těšetice-Kyjovice – Sutny (South Moravia, Lengyel …
New approaches reviving old findings: Neolithic ceramic figurines of the Lengyel culture from Lower Austria
Neolithic anthropomorphic figurines, usually manufactured from ceramics, were found in large quantities at many sites. Despite past efforts to interpret their meaning, research has been stagnating for two main reasons. First, figurines have been considered artefacts of high heritage value and, therefore, they are usually not allowed to be analysed using invasive methods, which would be the most effective in ceramic research, allowing for identify…
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…
Technical advantages bridging the preservation limits of painted decoration of Neolithic ceramic figurines
Painting on ceramic objects is one of the most outstanding features of visual narration of the Neolithic material culture in Southeastern and partly in Central Europe. Unfortunately, post-firing painting is usually poorly preserved due to deposition conditions. Moreover, it may have been damaged or contaminated during post-excavation and conservation processes in the past. This project studies how new methods of pigment traces visual detection br…

Exceptional Set of Lithic Arrowheads from an Early Bronze Age Site in Hosty (South Bohemia): Evidence of Sieges, Hunting, or Armed Escorts
During the Early Bronze Age, the Hosty settlement in South Bohemia was important nodal point on the long-distance trade route con¬necting the Alpine and Danube regions with the Únětice-culture world and northern Europe. Its well-preserved settlement layers con¬tained imported exotics, artefacts, and raw materials from all directions. An outstanding set of 33 arrowheads forms the largest known projectile collection from settlement sites of the Ear…
Measuring and mapping the existence of phantom borders at a local scale: Example of Sudetenland in Czechia
This study presents an innovative methodological approach for quantitatively measuring and mapping the existence of phantom borders. Phantom borders are former political borders that have not existed for decades, but their presence is still visible in current socio-geographical differentiation. The visualisations based on spatial statistical analysis of territorially detailed data enables revealing and assessing potential heterogeneous border eff…
Multi-proxy analysis of an Early Neolithic wooden well in a pastoral landscape in eastern Bohemia
Some of the most remarkable Neolithic finds encountered in central Europe are wells with a wooden construction. These features provide unusual insights into Neolithic societies, their subsistence strategies and the landscape they inhabited. In the last fifteen years, four Early Neolithic wells out of a total of seven such wells known since the 1970s have been discovered in Czechia. One of them is the well at Ostrov, the wooden construction and se…
Formor project: Analysis of the formation of complex societies in Early Medieval Moravia
In the ninth century AD, Moravia (now in Czechia) was the heartland of the first Slavic state-like formation in Central Europe. Traditionally, the archaeology of the region has been interpreted via historical records only; the FORMOR project aims to broaden this view by using archaeometry, archaeogenetics, bioarchaeology and introducing new theoretical approaches
Copper-alloy belt fittings and elite networking in Early Medieval Central Europe
This paper attempts to change the traditional view of the Late Avar belt fittings, which in the 8th century AD delineated an extremely dense communication network within the Carpathian Basin and beyond, by using a groundbreaking combination of iconography, energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), lead isotope analysis, digital morphometry and 3D comparative prototyping. It presents a complex analysis of br…
A Carolingian Helmet from Pohansko near Břeclav (Czech Republic): Its Archaeological Context and Social Interpretation
THIS PAPER PRESENTS THE REMAINS of an early medieval helmet found in 2015 at Pohansko near Břeclav (Czech Republic), one of the most important central places of an early medieval polity called Great Moravia. It is the first Carolingian helmet from Central Europe to be discovered in a settlement context during a conventional archaeological excavation. The helmet is dated by stratigraphic and radiocarbon methods, and placed in a broader European co…
First evidence of the production of Ginalski E5 button spurs from copper alloy in Central Europe
Ginalski‐type E5 button spurs made from a Cu alloy are a characteristic attribute of the Middle Roman period in barbarian Europe. The find of part of a mould made of non‐ferrous metal at the Luleč site in the district of Vyškov, Czech Republic, provided key evidence for explaining the issue of their production. The discovery of this unique artefact showed that based on current knowledge, the spurs made from a Cu alloy were also produced in the Mi…
Proto-Eneolithic settlement feature for leather processing: Analysis of the Epi-Lengyel lithics from Drnholec, South Moravia
The state of knowledge of the Epi-Lengyel settlement of South Moravia is still limited to a few isolated pub lished sites, with a predominant focus on the typological evaluation of pottery. Collections of lithics remain unevaluated or are treated mainly typologically. The inventory of the settlement feature from Lidická Street, Drnholec, Břeclav district, comprising, among other things, 45 lithic pieces, has made it possible to apply modern metho…
External and Terminal Ballistics of Early Bronze Age Lithic Arrowheads: Experimental Verification
Lithic archery projectiles during the short timespan at the end of the Eneolithic period and the beginning of the Bronze Age in Europe have alternately been deemed hunting implements, weapons, or symbolic artefacts. More than 400 projectiles of this period have been analysed in 3D metrics. All but a few are triangular barbed projectiles. Despite differences in size and weight, four types of arrowheads have been identified using 3D shape alone. Ex…

Spatial Dimension of Unemployment: Space-Time Analysis Using Real-Time Accessibility in Czechia
This paper focuses on the analysis of unemployment data in Czechia on a very detailed spatial structure and yearly, extended time series (2002–2019). The main goal of the study was to examine the spatial dimension of disparities in regional unemployment and its evolutionary tendencies on a municipal level. To achieve this goal, global and local spatial autocorrelation methods were used. Besides spatial and space-time analyses, special attention w…
Using Areal Interpolation to Deal with Differing Regional Structures in International Research
When working with regional data from different countries, issues concerning data comparability need to be solved, including regional comparability. Differing regional unit size is a common issue which influences the results of socio-economic analyses. In this paper, we introduce a strategy to deal with the regional incomparability of administrative data in international research. We propose a methodological approach based on the areal interpolati…

Spatial patterns of unemployment in Central Europe: Emerging development axes beyond the Blue Banana
In this paper, we focus on mapping and analysing the spatial patterns of unemployment in four Central European countries – Austria, Czechia, Germany, and Poland, on municipal level in 2010. Specifically, based on the geo-social differentiation patterns, we are searching for secondary axes stretching from the Blue Banana (the major European economic development axis running from London to Milan) towards Eastern Europe. Unemployment is supposed to …
