Hallstatt Period Habrůvka ‒ “Býčí skála”. The Burial Constructions Reconsidered in the Light of Daub Analyses
This article deals with the information value of daub from burial constructions from the 6th century BC obtained in the Entrance Hall of the Habrůvka – “Býčí skála” Cave in the years 2020–2021. The untypical discovery of daub, as a surface treatment of stone-wooden structures, allows for an innovative solution as to how the Hallstatt burial constructions/chambers were made. The set of daub samples was divided into two parts, giving two sets of da…
Chronology of the construction phases of St. Peter and Paul Rotunda at Budeč based on characterization and radiocarbon analysis of mortars
This work aims to clarify the absolute chronology of the construction phases of the St. Peter and Paul Rotunda at Budeč, focusing on the erection of the rotunda and the tower. Fifteen mortar samples were taken from various structural parts, two of which also contained remnants of charcoal. The mortar samples were mechanically treated to extract a purified calcitic binder that was dated by radiocarbon analysis. The effectiveness of the sample pret…

What does the waste say about the medieval town of Banská Bystrica (Central Slovakia) and its environment
The historical town hall of Banská Bystrica was rebuilt in the second half of the 16th century from a medieval town mansion that had traditionally been owned by the town’s high-ranking citizens. As the building was an important structure, there is an extraordinary record of written sources depicting its history. However, there is almost no information before the year 1500 due to the fire that destroyed the town archives. Just as the fire oblitera…
Bayesian modeling of a medieval plague and famine mass graves from Sedlec-Kutná Hora, Czech Republic
Plague and famine are two of the worst killers in human history. Both struck the Czech lands in the Middle Ages not long after each other (the famine of 1318 CE and the plague of 1348–1350 CE). The aim of our study was to try to relate the mass graves found in the vicinity of the Chapel of All Saints with an ossuary in the Kutná Hora–Sedlec site to these two specific events. For this purpose, we used stratigraphic and archaeological data, radioca…
Paths to this and the next world
The article presents the assemblage of finds from a sunken hut in Nižbor opposite the Stradonice oppidum on the other bank of the Berounka River. The inventory from the sunken hut, which testifies to its contemporaneity with one of the phases of settlement at the oppidum in the Late La Tène period, was composed of common settlement finds of pottery and animal bones but also the skeletal remains of an older male. As such, it is a source for the st…
In the Footsteps of the Silk Road
Kyrgyzstan can be represented, geomorphologically-speaking, by a transect between the Fergana lowlands and the Tien Shan highlands and is an outstanding area for the study of paleoclimatic conditions relating to climatic changes. These changes have been crucial for the behaviour of past cultures in this area, especially due to the presence of the Silk Road. A Czech environmental team, covering geology, geomorphology, pedology, paleoecology, archa…
Time Travel with Radiocarbon Dating
Radiocarbon dating is a critical tool in archaeology and Quaternary Earth science, providing absolute age estimates. Established in 2004, the Czech Radiocarbon Laboratory (CRL) has advanced from radiometric methods requiring large sample sizes to using Accelerator Mass Spectrometry, which allows for the dating of microsamples. Since 2018, CRL has undergone significant upgrades, including the acquisition of the MILEA AMS system, enhancing its capa…
Extensive Survey on Radiocarbon Dating of Organic Inclusions in Medieval Mortars in the Czech Republic
Dating organic inclusions in mortars such as charcoals is a useful alternative or complementary method to dating mortars themselves, helping to estimate the building age. To assess the limitations of this dating approach, organic inclusions were searched for in surface mortar layers of six early to late medieval buildings in the Czech Republic with relatively well-known age. Altogether, 123 samples were found. About 80% were successfully radiocar…
Radiocarbon Dating of Multiple Materials for Clarifying the Formation of the Medieval Settlement on the Outskirts of Prague Castle (Czech Republic)
An archaeological excavation conducted on U Kasáren St. in the Prague Castle area (Czech Republic) in 2020 revealed the remains of a medieval settlement consisting of houses of different constructions (pit dwelling, masonry construction), pyrotechnical (possibly metallurgical) features and unspecified pits. The excavation also revealed evidence of fire events and traces of viniculture on the outskirts of the Prague Castle area. Archaeological dat…
Assessment of Residual Geogenic Carbon in Mortars Concerning Radiocarbon Dating
Quicklime samples were collected from six vertical layers (L1–L6) of a feedstock calcined in a traditional single-batch wood-fired kiln and assessed. Three samples were well-burned and three under-burned. The quicklime was slaked in an excess of water and the presence of unburned particles was investigated after settling it into putty. The putty was assessed as bulk and also at three depth levels. Thermal analysis determined the CO 2 residua in t…
The First Radiocarbon Data From the Settlement Nitra-Lupka
Nitra-Lupka is an important site from the Great Moravian period in Slovakia. A fortified hillfort which was supposed to be from this period, a battery of pottery kilns, and an Early Medieval cemetery were found on the site and researched during 1959–1975. Further, a few small-range excavations took place on the site at the beginning of the 21st century. At the same time, the dating of the hillfort to the Early Medieval period has begun to be ques…
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…
Radiocarbon dating of illegal ivory confirmed by Milos Forman’s Hair
Illegal poaching brought elephant species to the brink of extinction; therefore, international trade in ivory has become regulated by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Flora and Fauna (CITES). However, the trade is still allowed for antique items, standing for ivory from a period before 1947 within the European Union. This could serve as a loophole for the laundering of modern ivory. In the described case of the Happy…
Možnosti a limity radiouhlíkového datování se zaměřením na netypické archeologické vzorky

Tento tematický přehled prezentuje základní principy radiouhlíkové metody, předpoklady pro výběr vzorků z archeologických situací, způsob zacházení se vzorky před zasláním do radiouhlíkové laboratoře, laboratorní postupy úpravy vzorků, průběh AMS měření a kalibraci výsledků. Dále jsou vysvětleny faktory, které omezují výsledky radiouhlíkového…
Radiocarbon Dating of Mortar Charcoals From Medieval Rýzmburk Castle, Northwestern Bohemia
Rýzmburk Castle is one of the largest and most important medieval castles in Bohemia, documented since 1250 AD. Its North tower is assumed to be built in 1260–1300 AD. To test this assumption, the surface layers of mortar were inspected for the presence of charcoals suitable for radiocarbon dating, and 10 charcoals were found. The charcoals probably originated from wood used for lime burning. The results of radiocarbon dating using accelerator ma…

Prehistoric Charcoal Graffiti Discovered in Kateřinská Cave, Czech Republic
The article reports on a new sampling method and the archaeological context of cave drawings, which include the oldest currently known graffiti in the Czech Republic. Between 2016 and 2020, samples with a small amount of charcoal were taken from drawings found in Kateřinská Cave (Catherine’s Cave) of the Moravian Karst in the Czech Republic. A new gentle method of sampling charcoal from the cave walls was developed for the purpose of radiocarbon …
The Oldest Rulers of Early Medieval Bohemia and Radiocarbon Data
Given the nature of medieval artifacts and resulting research requirements, a precise temporal classification is essential. It is especially important for the purposes of medieval archaeology in interpreting archaeological finds/finding situations and identifying them with a historical events or figures, for example, to identify skeletal remains of a known historical figure or to establish a chronological sequence of various cultural and architec…
