Velkomoravský luxusní („veligradský“) šperk
The aim of the study is to evaluate the current state of research of luxury female jewellery in Moravia (Czech Republic) in the Middle Hillfort period (9th–10th century), which is also referred to by the name ‘Veligrad jewellery’. First, terminology issues and the state of the source base are summarised, after which the entire spectrum of ornaments (earrings, buttons, finger rings, etc.) and their typology is presented. A large section of the tex…
Early life histories at medieval Mikulčice (ninth-tenth centuries AD, Czechia) based on carbon and nitrogen profiles of tooth dentine
Rozdělené páry? Identifikace a interpretace výskytu gombíků s identickou tepanou výzdobou z různých nálezových kontextů velkomoravské aglomerace Mikulčice–Kopčany
Spherical hollow buttons (in Czech gombíky, sgl. gombík) are garment accessories of the Great Moravian elites, which have been widely discussed over the past decades. Research into these artefacts, and particularly their chased decoration, has been ongoing for almost 70 years. The aim was to find analogies to their motifs and clarify their cultural origin. Research into decorative motifs is still justified if the questions it is supposed to answe…
Stav izotopových výzkumů stravy, rezidenční mobility a zemědělského hospodaření populace Velké Moravy (9.–10. století)
Příspěvek souhrnně představuje a propojuje výsledky dosavadních izotopových studií populace Velké Moravy, především obyvatel mikulčické aglomerace, zaměřených na rekonstrukci stravy, migraci, ale i způsoby zemědělského hospodaření ve sledované oblasti. Interpretuje i doposud nepublikovaná data vypovídající o stravě jedinců pohřbených v interiérech mikulčických kostelů (n = 10) a o rezidenční mobilitě jedinců z Mikulčic se specifickými hrobovými p…

Residential mobility in Great Moravia
Pig-Breeding Management in the Early Medieval Stronghold at Mikulčice (Eighth–Ninth Centuries, Czech Republic)
The archaeozoological analysis sets point to the vital role of pigs in the subsistence economy of Early Medieval Mikulčice, an important Great Moravian centre (Czech Republic). The results of slaughtering distribution analyses indicate that pigs were a meat source for a consumer population. Analyses of stable isotopes of nitrogen and carbon suggest that the demand for pork was predominantly met by animals raised by extensive husbandry. . In addit…

Diet in transitory society
Urban and rural infant‐feeding practices and health in early medieval C entral E urope (9th–10th Century, C zech R epublic)
In the Central European context, the 9th and 10th centuries are well known for rapid cultural and societal changes concerning the development of the economic and political structures of states as well as the adoption of Christianity. A bioarchaeological study based on a subadult skeletal series was conducted to tackle the impact of these changes on infant and young child feeding practices and, consequently, their health in both urban and rural po…
The shape variability of human tibial epiphyses in an early medieval Great Moravian population (9th–10th century AD)
Limb bone morphology is influenced by external factors, including changes in subsistence and socioeconomic shifts. The aim of this study was to identify and describe any trends in morphological variation in human tibial epiphyses within an early medieval population of central Europe using surface scanning and geometric morphometric methods. The results are discussed in terms of three potential sources of variation in shape variability: sexual dim…
Enthesopathies and activity patterns in the Early Medieval Great Moravian population
Bone remodelling in the areas of entheses is frequently supposed to be associated with physical stress and the activity patterns of ancient populations. The main aim of this study was to analyse the prevalence of enthesopathies among individuals living in different life conditions. A total of 197 individuals from the Early Medieval (9th century) Mikulčice site were analysed for enthesopathies - 117 adult individuals from Mikulčice castle and 80 i…
