Across Disciplines and Borders: A New Joint Master’s Degree Programme in Environmental Archaeology
This paper introduces a new joint Master’s degree programme in Environmental Archaeology, developed through collaboration between the University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice (Czech Republic) and Constantine the Philosopher University in Nitra (Slovakia). 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…
High mountains, late palaeolithic hunting. The case of Hučivá Diera Cave in the Tatra Mts. (West Carpathians)
Hidden in the mound – Exploring the stratigraphy and paleoenvironmental context of an Early Iron Age burial mound (Süttő, Hungary) by semi-destructive pedological and botanical approaches
Combined semi-destructive approach enhances the understanding of the stratigraphy of Early Iron Age burial mound. • Paleosoil transmits pedological and land use information of the Middle Danube valley. • Geoarchaeological, archaeobotanical and radiocarbon data provide details on the life cycle of Early Iron Age burial mound. Early Iron Age burial mounds (800/750–550 cal BC) in the Carpathian Basin hold significant environmental and cultural value…
The vegetation of the Roman province of Pannonia based on wood charcoal, pollen, anthracological and carpological studies (1st–5th century AD)
The Roman Empire ruled Pannonia—largely corresponding to today’s Transdanubia in Hungary—for nearly 500 years. This study reconstructs Roman-era vegetation and land use around Lake Balaton using pollen analysis, carpology, and anthracology. Pollen-based reconstruction from the sediment of Lake Balaton, with a >100 km source radius, reveals intensive agriculture during the Roman period (1st–5th century AD), supported by high LUP index values (60–1…

Burials and Rituals in the La Tène Period: The Quadrangular Enclosure from Němčice
The central agglomeration Němčice in Moravia gave the name – the Němčice/Roseldorf type – to the entire gradually recognised group of large lowland settlements with production and distribution functions existing in La Tène Europe in the 3 rd –2 nd century BC. In addition to settlement and production features, several ditched quadrangular enclosures were also identified at the Němčice settlement. One of these, feature 525, was investigated in 2022…
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 …
The ‘Central Orava’ Microregion During the Late Hallstatt to Middle La Tène Period
Němčice: Výsledky terénního výzkumu v roce 2021 a nejstarší sklářská dílna v zaalpské Evropě
Cílem této studie je vyhodnocení dosavadních výsledků získaných při vůbec prvním odkryvu na centrální aglomeraci Němčice – jednom z nejvýznamnějších středisek 3. a 2. století př. Kr. ve střední Evropě. Výzkum provedený v roce 2021 se zaměřil na prostor, kde byla lokalizována nejstarší doložená sekundární sklářská dílna v zaalpské Evropě. Terénnímu odkryvu předcházelo využití nedestruktivních metod, a to především pravidelných povrchových prospekc…

Ams, Historical, and Archaeological Dating of Oponice Castle
The fifth season of excavations of Oponice Castle in 2020 was located in the lower castle’s courtyard. The research led to discovery of an original clay floor being heavily burned with charred plank and a rectangular stone-brick construction. The construction has collapsed upper part with a fallen low brick arch. The whole area was covered with numerous stove tiles and one clay mold for the production of stove tiles. The construction was identifi…
New radiocarbon dates point to the early evolution of resilient agriculture among Central Europe’s first farmers
The shift towards cultivating domesticated crops was a pivotal development in ecological, economic, and human behavioural systems. As agriculture expanded beyond its origins, it faced diverse environments, often unsuitable for the originally cultivated domesticates. Farmers in Central Europe had to adjust and transform their farming systems, typically cultivating only five domesticated crop species. Here, we present new archaeobotanical data comp…

Land cover and use-history of large empty spaces at fortified Iron Age hilltop sites; a case study from La Terrasse, Bibracte oppidum
The research of Iron Age oppida and hillforts plays a significant role in understanding the urbanisation processes throughout the European continent. The habitation and built-up areas have always been in the limelight of both traditional and environmental archaeological research. However, at many oppida, there were also large, unoccupied empty spaces. As they are crucial for understanding these settlements’ internal organisation, their functions …

Animal and Plant Remains from Two Kalenderberg Group (Hallstatt Culture) Cremation Graves in Devín-Záhrady, Slovakia
The flotation of deposits from two recently excavated Kalenderberg Group cremation graves in DevínZáhrady (SW Slovakia) yielded a plethora of archaeozoological and archaeobotanical remains, including small, otherwise overlooked, ecofacts. The results of our analysis in the context of contemporary data show that animals clearly constituted an unambiguous part of funerary ritual activities. Pig, fish, red deer, cattle and caprines were all exploite…

Human-induced prehistoric soil buried in the flood plain of Svratka River, Czech Republic
The natural setting and prehistoric human activity on Holocene floodplains in Central Europe is a compelling issue from several points of view. This environment presents an important sedimentary archive reflecting past human behaviour in interactions with climate change. Two sedimentary sections recorded in the alluvial zone of Svratka River (Moravia) with a buried soil dated to the time span between the Neolithic and Late Bronze Age, and compris…
A Roman Structure from Hurbanovo, SW Slovakia: Multiproxy Investigation of Unique Waterlogged Deposit
The paper presents results of analyses of various types of organic remains recovered from a waterlogged fill of the sunken structure from Hurbanovo (SW Slovakia) dated to the Early Roman period (1 st and 2 nd century AD). The structure represents a unique find -the only archaeological feature with waterlogged infill at the site and one of nine known from the Roman Period "barbaric" territory of modern day Slovakia. The waterlogging enabled the pr…

Hic sunt leones? The Morava Valley Region During the Early Middle Ages: The Bilateral Mobility Project between Slovakia and Austria
Cross-border cooperation is very important for understanding the cultural-historical development of the border regions of modern day states. These areas, today, are often considered as "peripheries". However, in the past they usually had a very different function and status. This article introduces one bilateral mobility project between the archaeological departments at the University of Vienna and the Constantine the Philosopher University in Ni…

Pohřebiště v Podolí u Brna a fenomén žárových hrobů mladší doby bronzové s rozměrnými jámami na Moravě
Díky stálé terénní aktivitě se v posledních dvou desetiletích podařilo na Moravě opakovaně zachytit žárové pohřby mladší doby bronzové, které spojuje řada shodných znaků v čele se specifickou úpravou hrobové jámy – dosahuje tvaru a rozměrů obvyklých pro kostrové pohřby. Ukázkovým příkladem je trojice hrobů odkrytá v roce 2011 na katastru obce Podolí u Brna, na níž lze dobře demonstrovat specifické rysy pohřebního ritu, které se k tomuto typu pohř…

Maintaining soil productivity as the key factor in European prehistoric and Medieval farming
Early occurrence of temperate oak-dominated forest in the northern part of the Little Hungarian Plain, SW Slovakia
Using a multi-proxy analysis of a postglacial sedimentary sequence from a lowland wetland, we address the possible drivers of change in the wetland habitats and surrounding landscapes of southwestern Slovakia. A 5 m-deep core in the Parížske močiare marshes was investigated for pollen, plant macro-remains, molluscs, organic content and magnetic susceptibility. The palaeoecological record extends from the Pleistocene–Holocene transition (≥11,200 c…
