  • New hoards of Handlová and Hrádok type copper in Western Slovakia

    Jaroslav Peška, Filip Ondrkál et al.ARTICLEArchaeologiai Értesítő2026

    In Early Eneolithic, copper occupied a unique position, as it was the material of choice for the large cast axe-hammers that were central to the metal record of the Ludanice group. Models related to the discovery and analyses of the copper hoards of Diviaky nad Nitricou (Prievidza dist.), Mníchova Lehota II (Trenčín dist.) and Žitná-Radiša I (Bánovce nad Bebravou dist.) provide the most convincing evidence so far that the unique metallurgical tra…

  • Fragment měděného sekeromlatu z počátku eneolitu z Krhova na Moravě jako příklad materiálové skupiny Hrádok

    Open AccessJaroslav Peška, Zuzana Jarůšková et al.ARTICLEArcheologické rozhledy2025

    Příspěvek se zabývá zajímavým nálezem fragmentu měděného sekeromlatu z Boskovické brázdy na Moravě. Jedná se o nový detektorový nález fragmentu týlní části sekeromlatu, který pochází z lokality Krhov-Písečný (okr. Blansko) ve střední části Boskovické brázdy. Náleží do širší skupiny tzv. těžké měděné industrie geneticky svázané s podobnými typy Szendrő, Székely-Nádudvar či Handlová a přestože nejde o typologicky zcela vyhraněný typ, nejvyšší podob…

    Field research with non-invasive methods completes the database of archaeological sites in the Prut-Dniester interfluve. is also the case of a new discovery made in the Răut river basin, near the locality of Cașunca (Florești district), where as a result of magnetometric prospecting of a series of tumuli a flat necropolis from the Sarmatian period was discovered. The necropolis contains 23 square ritual structures and 63 circular and oval grave p…

  • Horné Srnie

    Open AccessFilip Ondrkál, Jaroslav PeškaARTICLEArchaeometry2024References: 18

    Double‐armed insigniae of the Carpathian type are mysterious ceremonial symbols of the Urnfields representing the connection between ideological principles in the Western Carpathians. The Horné Srnie metal hoard shows that early Lusatian mountain communities developed an emulation strategy c .1325 BCE that shifts the origins of Lusatian metallurgy roughly by one century, using the elite style of the technologically advanced Piliny culture to repr…

  • Kamenné sekeromlaty v kontextu objektů ze starší doby bronzové na Moravě

    Open AccessJaroslav Peška, Pavel FojtíkARTICLEPřehled výzkumů2023

    Finds of stone hammer-axes are relatively uncommon in the context of the Early Bronze Age, not just in Moravia. They are more frequently encountered in the funeral environment while their occurrence in settlement contexts can be described as exceptional. The two newly presented boat-shaped doubleedged hammer-axes originate from both a settlement site (Držovice, ‘Díly odvrahoviční’) and a grave (Olomouc-Slavonín, ‘Horní lán’) of the Únětice cultur…

  • Following the traces of the earliest Corded Ware in Moravia and steppe elements in its content

    Open AccessJaroslav PeškaARTICLESprawozdania Archeologiczne2023Cited by: 1References: 16

    The earliest Corded Ware is very poorly represented in Moravia (several type A, Moravian-type, hammer-axes, settlements with the so-called Wellenleistentöpfe: Olomouc-Slavonín, Horní lán) and the situation is not much better even in the earlier Moravian Corded Ware Culture (MCWC) period (the Palonín settlement, graves at: Dub nad Moravou, Hradisko u Kroměříže, Němetice). Among the local MCWC (over 90%; 2700/2600 2400/2200 calBC) we find a number …

  • Results of micrometallographic analysis of metalworking tools in graves of metallurgists in Moravia/Czech Republic

    Open AccessJaroslav Peška, Jindřich ŠtelclARTICLEArchaeometry2023References: 8

    The number of finds relating to metalworking, without evidence of mining and processing facilities, is very limited. In Final Eneolith graves of specialized metallurgists that have occurred, they contain a metal‐founding or metalsmithing toolkit, whose origins were from eastern Europe (the Maykop, Yamnaya Culture). Such metallurgical tools may have reached central Europe as part of the so‐called Yamnaya Package before the onset of the Bee Beaker …

    For three Early Eneolithic copper artefacts (2 x cross-edged axe of the Jszladny type and one flat axe of the Rdigen type) from Moravia and Slovakia, previously published and stored in the collections of the Museum in Krom, we have managed to clarify the location (Liptovsk Mikul), the typochronology (flat axe of the Rdigen type) and to carry out a new XRF palaeometallurgical analysis. As a result, we found pure copper (E00) used in both cross-edg…

  • Die soziale Stratifikation am Ende des Äneolithikums in Mähren

    Jaroslav PeškaARTICLEPraehistorische Zeitschrift2022

    Der vorliegende Beitrag bietet eine kurze Übersicht diverser, den Beginn sozialer Stratifikation anzeigender Bestattungssitten in Kulturen des ausgehenden Äneolithikums in Mähren. Bestattungssitten werden im Beitrag als ein ritualisiertes Spiegelbild prähistorischer Realitäten verstanden, bei denen Grabbeigaben symbolische Rollen übernehmen, etwa Zugehörigkeit oder Identität. Die Grabausstattung kann gleichzeitig auch die Position des Verstorbene…

  • Settlements of Local Phase of Corded Ware culture in Moravia

    Open AccessJaroslav Peška, Pavel Fojtík et al.ARTICLEActa Archaeologica Carpathica2021

    In the context of the long discussion on the (non-)existence of permanent Corded Ware culture (CWC) settlements and the semi-nomadic way of life of their inhabitants, ongoing excavations of common settlements have newly gained immense significance, as in almost all other regions, also in Moravia (Olomouc-Slavonín, Horní lán; Vřesovice; Seloutky; Hulín-Pravčice 1; Prostějov, Za tržištěm). Earlier sporadic indications have been joined by a series o…

    Open AccessJaroslav PeškaARTICLEPřehled výzkumů2021

    In 2017, a relatively small copper artefact hoard was found using a metal detector just a few metres from the border between the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic. This was on a distinctive slope on the Moravian side of the White Carpathians, at a relatively high altitude (746 m) in the cadastral area of the municipality of Lopeník. The hoard was lent for documenting by the finder and then returned to them. It contained three flat Jordanów t…

    The article presents a brief summary of newly discovered wooden structures in the well-known polycultural site Mohelnice – štěrkovna (also “U cukrovaru” or Za cukrovarem) in the Mohelnice cadastre and its vicinity. Earlier discoveries at this site include Neolithic timbered wells and a sensational find of an oak monoxylon from the La Tène period of the 4th/3rd century BC (dendro 281 or 301 BC). It was found trapped in its home port on the banks o…

  • Wooden Well at the First Farmers’ Settlement Area in Uničov, Czech Republic

    Open AccessIvana Vostrovská, J Petřík et al.ARTICLEPamátky archeologické2020

    Some of the most extraordinary finds from the Early Neolithic period are wooden wells. These constructions permit unusual insights into Neolithic settlements, their subsistence and environment, as well as into the surrounding landscape. A recent excavation of a Neo lithic settlement at Uničov in central Moravia, Czech Republic, yielded the discovery of a wooden well with a sediment infill from the beginning of the Neolithic period and allowed to …

    Článek představuje první jasně doložené (malé) žárové pohřebiště jevišovické kultury na Moravě v kontextu de facto neznámých pohřebních praktik dané kulturní formace. Dva urnové hroby s typickou keramikou zachytily výkopy inženýrských sítí blízko historického jádra města Brna (Polní ulice) v nevelké vzdálenosti od sebe. Hroby datujeme na základě rozboru keramických nádob do mladšího nebo pozdního období jevišovické kultury s jistými vazbami na re…
