  • Riverine Cultural Landscape of the Jizera River, Czech Republic, from the Perspective of Archaeology and Hydrology. An Interdisciplinary Study of Archaeological Sites in Relation to Watercourses Using…

    Open Access•Barbora Machová, Václav Hradilek et al.•ARTICLE•Interdisciplinaria Archaeologica…•2026

    The article summarises the results of a pilot project that investigated the riverine cultural landscape of the Jizera River, primarily focusing on the correlation between archaeological structures and the river’s watercourse. The authors have demonstrated a novel integration of archaeology, hydrology and some geophysical prospection methods, which together have enabled the delineation of potential areas for identifying sites of significant archae…

    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…

  • Quantifying Water and Tillage Soil Erosion Risk to the Neolithic Settlement Site of Bylany (Czech Republic)

    Open Access•Nikola Derková, Markéta Končelová et al.•ARTICLE•Geoarchaeology•2025•References: 4

    This study assesses the threat of soil erosion to the unique Neolithic settlement site of Bylany. Since the 1950s, it has been explored using traditional archaeological methods and, more recently, non‐destructive techniques like aerial prospection and geophysics. The archaeo‐geophysical survey using magnetometry revealed more frequent fragmented linear magnetic anomalies and decreased magnetic intensities, indicating some differences in the sunke…

    The Němčice site located in a strategic area of an agricultural plateau represents one of the most important archaeological sites in Moravia. Non-destructive archaeological surveys including a largescale magnetometer survey, field artefact collections, and metal detector surveys have been carried out there repeatedly over the past two decades. New archaeological excavations during a new project were focused on selected areas and situations identi…

  • New Evidence of Neolithic Funerary Monuments from the Eastern Margins of the Long Barrows Territory in Central Europe

    Open Access•Petr Krištuf, Jan Turek et al.•ARTICLE•Archaeologies•2024•References: 4

    Late Neolithic long barrows are commonly found throughout Central and Northwestern Europe, within the Funnel Beaker Culture territory. The sites of this Culture are known from Bohemia covering a period between 3900 and 3400 BC. However, long barrows have not been detected in Bohemia for a long time. The main reason is that they are located in areas where they were affected by modern ploughing. A significant contribution to their recognition was t…

  • Geophysical Survey and Changes in the Use of the Cultural Landscape

    Open Access•Roman Křivánek, Ján Tirpák•ARTICLE•Interdisciplinaria Archaeologica…•2023•References: 6

    The results of detailed and large-scale geophysical measurements in archaeology have been steadily increasing for years. The growth in measured data has also increased the need for processing and interpretation; in archaeology, this primarily means the archaeological interpretation of the measured data. However, the information contained in geophysical data includes a substantial volume or area of data of varying size or thickness of some differe…

    Geophysical work on archaeological sites in northwest Bohemia is dependent on a number of regional and specific local conditions and factors. Difficulties are encountered when conducting archaeological and geophysical work in the heavily industrialized region of Bohemia, in the lowland area along the Bílina River. A high concentration of brown-coal mines and power stations and the chemical industry have produced electromagnetic disturbances. Thes…

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 results of detailed and large-scale geophysical measurements in archaeology have been steadily increasing for years. The growth in measured data has also increased the need for processing and interpretation; in archaeology, this primarily means the archaeological interpretation of the measured data. However, the information contained in geophysical data includes a substantial volume or area of data of varying size or thickness of some differe…

    The Němčice site located in a strategic area of an agricultural plateau represents one of the most important archaeological sites in Moravia. Non-destructive archaeological surveys including a largescale magnetometer survey, field artefact collections, and metal detector surveys have been carried out there repeatedly over the past two decades. New archaeological excavations during a new project were focused on selected areas and situations identi…

  • New Evidence of Neolithic Funerary Monuments from the Eastern Margins of the Long Barrows Territory in Central Europe

    Open Access•Petr Krištuf, Jan Turek et al.•ARTICLE•Archaeologies•2024•References: 4

    Late Neolithic long barrows are commonly found throughout Central and Northwestern Europe, within the Funnel Beaker Culture territory. The sites of this Culture are known from Bohemia covering a period between 3900 and 3400 BC. However, long barrows have not been detected in Bohemia for a long time. The main reason is that they are located in areas where they were affected by modern ploughing. A significant contribution to their recognition was t…
