  • ZooMS as a tool for identifying animal remains from Early Medieval Pohansko

    Open AccessWeronika Karolina Cieszynska, Ondrej Šedo et al.ARTICLEJournal of Archaeological Science…2026

    Pohansko, located near Břeclav, is a significant archaeological site in the Czech Republic, as it was one of the major centers of Great Moravia. At the site, numerous animal remains were discovered. Those remains provide critical insights into past dietary practices and human-animal interactions in Early Medieval Moravia. However, the high degree of fragmentation of these remains often makes species identification by using traditional morphologic…

  • Late Holocene Environmental Changes and Human Subsistence in an Alluvial Landscape

    Open AccessLibor Petr, J Petřík et al.ARTICLEHuman Ecology2025

    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…

  • Multidisciplinary Approach to Identifying Early Mediaeval Gates

    Open AccessPetr Dresler, Michaela Prišťáková et al.ARTICLEArchaeological Prospection2025References: 2

    This study presents a comprehensive approach to verifying a presumed western gate at Pohansko by integrating nondestructive geophysical methods (ERT, magnetometry and core prospection) with traditional archaeological excavation. The identification and characterization of gates by nondestructive methods within early mediaeval fortified sites have been overlooked in archaeological studies, despite their important role in stronghold defence and sett…

  • Formor project

    Open AccessJiří Macháček, Vladimír Sládek et al.ARTICLEAntiquity2024

    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

  • Tracing the spatial organization and activity zones of an Early Mediaeval homestead at the Pohansko stronghold (Czechia) by combining geophysics and geochemical mapping

    Open AccessMichaela Prišťáková, Katarína Adameková et al.ARTICLEArchaeological Prospection2023Cited by: 3References: 17

    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…

  • A Carolingian Helmet from Pohansko near Břeclav (Czech Republic)

    Tomáš Vlasatý, Petr Dresler et al.ARTICLEMedieval Archaeology2023References: 19

    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…

  • Beaver as proof of the change of natural environment and economy of the first half of the 10th century AD

    Open AccessPetr Dresler, Gabriela Dreslerová et al.ARTICLEArchaeologia Austriaca2022

    The collapse of the Great Moravian early medieval fortified centre at Pohansko near BÅ eclav triggered some changes. These changes became evident in the development of the alluvial plain environment, as well as in the settlement, subsistence, and economic strategies of the population. One particularly prominent phenomenon was an unprecedented increase in the proportion of hunted animals appearing in osteological assemblages from the 10th century …

  • Runes from Lány (Czech Republic) - The oldest inscription among Slavs. A new standard for multidisciplinary analysis of runic bones

    Open AccessJiří Macháček, Robert Nedoma et al.ARTICLEJournal of Archaeological Science2021

    When Roman administration and legions gradually withdrew from the outer provinces after the fall of the Western Roman Empire, they created a power void filled by various groups. The dynamic Migration Period that followed is usually considered to have ended when the Germanic Lombards allegedly left Central Europe and were replaced by Slavs. Whether or how Slavic and Germanic tribes interacted, however, is currently disputed. Here we report the fir…

    Jiří Macháček, Stefan Eichert et al.ARTICLEActa Archaeologica2021Cited by: 2References: 6

    Interdisciplinary research, carried out by the Masaryk University Brno and the University of Vienna, at the site of Lány (CZ) at the border between Austria and Moravia has revealed a large settlement (∼12ha) from the 6th century until the 8 th /9 th century in a contact zone between Slavonic and Avarian influences. Aside from pottery that ranges from early slavic finds of the Prague type to specimens of the middle-danubian tradition („mitteldanub…

  • Arms-bearers in separate graves from Great Moravia and the emergence of the Early Medieval military-aristocratic organization in East-Central Europe

    Jiří Macháček, Margit Berner et al.ARTICLEPraehistorische Zeitschrift2021Cited by: 2

    Die Existenz Großmährens wird in die Zeit vom 9. bis zur 1. Hälfte des 10. Jahrhunderts datiert. Es erstreckte sich zwischen dem karolingischen Westen und dem slawischen „Außeneuropa“ und galt als erstes Staatsgebilde der Slawen, das die militär-aristokratische Struktur Westeuropas nachahmte. Neu entdeckte separate Bestattungen mit Waffen und Sporen lassen jedoch Zweifel an dieser Deutung aufkommen. Der besondere Bestattungsritus der hier vorgele…

    The Fall of Great Moravia. Reflections on relative and absolute chronology of Early Middle Ages in the East-Central Europe. Dating the so-called Great Moravian jewelry and Great Moravian church graveyards is one of the crucial tasks of archaeology of the Early Middle Ages.
