High mountains, late palaeolithic hunting. The case of Hučivá Diera Cave in the Tatra Mts. (West Carpathians)
Designing the Foothills: Prehistoric Irrigation, Fields, and Rural Settlement at Ravat, South-western Kyrgyzstan
The prehistoric agricultural landscape of Ravat in south-western Kyrgyzstan represents one of the most exceptionally preserved field systems and rural settlements known from Central Asia. The landscape comprises a tepe with structural remains, an extensive system of terraced fields, a hierarchically organised network of irrigation channels, and clusters of small homestead units. Based on surface archaeological evidence, the complex has its origin…
Is It the Floor or Isn't It the Floor? How to Interpret the Homogeneous Infill of a Prehistoric House
The floors of sunken houses can provide important insights into how these spaces were used and into the processes that shaped them, thereby contributing to broader interpretation at an archaeological site. When the floors are homogeneous, and the palimpsest of individual occupational horizons is difficult to distinguish, a combination of analytical methods is required. The infill of the La Tène sunken house at Němčice, Czech Republic, was analyse…
A water reservoir from the 3rd to 5th century AD as a possible key for understanding the subsistence strategies and environment at the margin of the Fergana basin in Southern Kyrgyzstan
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…

Geoarchaeology in the Absence of Layers: Large‐Scale Sampling From an Iron Age Urban Context in the Southern Levant
Understanding the impact of erosion and postdepositional processes is essential for reconstructing site formation in ancient tells. At Tel 1 Burna, a multiperiod stratified site in the Shephelah region of central Israel, we integrate portable X‐ray fluorescence (pXRF), portable optically stimulated luminescence (pOSL), and organic residue analysis (ORA). Our aim is to assess how postdepositional processes shaped the archaeological record in Tel B…
History of research at Švédův stůl Cave in the Moravian Karst
This article provides an overview of the published archaeological, geological, anthropological, and paleontological research that has been undertaken at Švédův stůl Cave at Ochoz u Brna in the southern part of the Moravian Karst. Most of these excavations took place from the end of the 19th century to the present and have already been described in the literature; however, to date, there has been no comprehensive review for an English-speaking aud…

In the Footsteps of the Silk Road: Czech-Kyrgyz Geo-environmental Project
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…

Monumental and Long-Lasting or Temporary and Performative? How did Neolithic Rondels Function? Radiocarbon Dating and Bayesian Chronological Modeling of the Rondel at Nowe Objezierze (Northwestern Pol…
Radiocarbon dating and Bayesian chronology modeling have provided precise dating for the rondel at Nowe Objezierze (northwestern Poland). This monument, located in the farthest reaches of the “Danubian World,” sheds new light on rondels and the way they functioned. A total of 44 radiocarbon dates are now available for the site, and modeling of these (taking into account depositional processes and the results of palynological analysis) has identif…
Multi-proxy analysis of an Early Neolithic wooden well in a pastoral landscape in eastern Bohemia
Some of the most remarkable Neolithic finds encountered in central Europe are wells with a wooden construction. These features provide unusual insights into Neolithic societies, their subsistence strategies and the landscape they inhabited. In the last fifteen years, four Early Neolithic wells out of a total of seven such wells known since the 1970s have been discovered in Czechia. One of them is the well at Ostrov, the wooden construction and se…
New Perspective on Neolithic Rectangular Features Using Artefact Analysis, Soil Micromorphology and Ethnohistorical Analogies. A Case study from Střelice u Brna, South Moravia, Czech Republic
The function of sunken rectangular features in the Late Neolithic has been a subject of interest in Central Europe for many years. This type of pit is not found very often. One of the latest examples is a square Lengyel feature in the village of Střelice near Brno. A study of the microstratigraphy of the fill has made it possible to qualitatively move the debate to a new level. The qualitative assessment of bone micro-fragments is also innovative…
