Breathing Life into Archaeological Archives
The integration of three-dimensional (3D) digital reconstructions has become a fundamental instrument for the effective communication of archaeological heritage. This article examines the development of digital visualisation technologies and their impact on cultural heritage interpretation, highlighting the necessity for developing presentation strategies. Beginning with an exploration of the shift towards clear communication in archaeology facil…
Středověká fortifikace u Úhlejova (okr. Jičín) zvaná Šluspárk
The text addresses the medieval fortification near the village of Úhlejov (Jičín District, Bohemia). The study is focused on a revision of the situation of the 1979 excavation and the results of the 2024 campaign. The archaeological finds are evaluated and the appearance of the castle is described. The oval castle core is surrounded on three sides by earthen fortifications consisting of a moat and a rampart, on the western side by a terraced slop…

First conclusions on Early-Middle Holocene ground (sand)stone production in the Eastern Sahel
The first isotopic insight into the Bronze Age dietary transition in the area of present-day Czechia
Prehistoric Rock Art of Jebel Shaqadud, Northwestern Butana (Sudan)
From Air Survey to GIS-Aided Mapping, Photogrammetry-Based 3D Modelling and the Virtual Reconstructions of Czech Lowland Crop-Marked Archaeological Sites / Od leteckého průzkumu a mapování k tvorbě di…
In this paper we want to present how data acquired in the 25 years long period during aerial archaeological survey – carried out by the Prague Institute of Archaeology, Czech Academy of Sciences – of buried sites seasonally displayed through cropmarks have recently been processed in order to become a type of document of the same value as the documents produced by means of archaeological excavation, i.e. large scale maps and plans of the detected …
The Shaqadud Archaeological Project (Sudan)
The authors present preliminary results from a new research project based in Jebel Shaqadud, Sudan. Their findings highlight the potential for this region's archaeological record to expand our understanding of the adaptation strategies used by human groups in arid north-east African environments away from rivers and lakes during the Holocene. Furthermore, they present exceptionally early radiocarbon dates that push postglacial human occupation in…
Medieval Mining Centre of Buchberg in the Bohemian-Moravian Highlands. Metal Production in the Kingdom of Bohemia (13th–14th Centuries)
The study presents the results of a wide range of research approaches and surveys of the defunct mining centre at Buchberg in the region of Havlíčkův Brod, which was involved in silver production in the 13th and 14th centuries. Burchberg is exceptional in its size and well-advanced community infrastructure. Its significance is also reflected in written sources. Surveys and trial diggings focused on the residential area, and especially on the adjo…
VirtualArch
Rapid technological development in recent years means that virtual reconstructions have evolved from an illustrative complement of archaeological presentation to becoming a standard part of the interpretative process of archaeological data. VirtualArch has been employed to develop the use of virtual reconstructions as an innovative visualisation tool. Ten partners from eight countries have come together in an EU-funded project (Interreg Central E…
An On-Site Presentation of Invisible Prehistoric Landscapes
Terms such as "virtual" or "augmented reality" no longer represent a million light-years distant science fiction concept, but rather a new tool for public archaeology and culture heritage. The presentation focused its use for on-site presentation of archaeological sites
Presenting the invisible and unfathomable
The aim of the article is to demonstrate the possibility of presentation of prehistoric sites in locations where there is neither any preserved construction, nor any relic of the original landscape. Such sites usually meet with indifference both from the public and from institutions involved in preservation of historical monuments. This problem, however, does not relate only to the limited capacity to imagine features of which there is no visual …
