Life and death in the medieval mining centre of Kutná Hora - reconstructing diets during the recurrent mortality crises of the 14th century AD (Czechia)
During the 14th century, the inhabitants of Kutná Hora, an important urban centre in the Kingdom of Bohemia, were exposed to recurrent mortality crises. Using stable carbon and nitrogen isotopes, this study investigates the relationship between diet and the famine of 1318 and the plague outbreaks after 1346. Together with a comparative sample from regular graves, a total of 112 bone samples were collected, supplemented by 70 first permanent molar…
A Unique La Tène Period Skeletal Grave of an Immature Individual from Plzeň-Radčice – a Case Study
The burials of immature individuals from the La Tène period still remain a great mystery. In most regions, these types of burials are completely absent or very sporadic. The aim of the present paper is a multidisciplinary analysis of the discovery of such a burial from Plzeň-Radčice in the Czech Republic. The burial has many unique aspects, such as a good state of skeletal material preservation, an archaeological context and rich grave goods. For…
When DNA can't help
Research into the family of the Counts Swéerts‐Sporck raised doubts regarding their biographical data, particularly concerning a child who died in 1817, later identified as Philipp Swéerts‐Sporck, and his siblings Joseph and Barbara. These were alleged to include a pair of dizygotic twins, but DNA could not be used to clarify their relationships. Carbon and nitrogen isotopes were therefore measured in their first permanent molars, whereas Philipp…
Raně středověké pohřebiště v Přezleticích (okr. Praha-východ) / Early Medieval Burial Ground in Přezletice (Prague-East District)
The text presents the results of the excavation of the early medieval burial ground, where more than 60 burials and one circular feature were identified. The find situation, the anthropological condition of remains and archaeological finds are described, and ecofacts are also analysed. Radiocarbon dating and nitrogen and carbon isotope analysis were conducted on selected specimens. The find assemblage corresponds to the location of the burial gro…
Arms-bearers in separate graves from Great Moravia and the emergence of the Early Medieval military-aristocratic organization in East-Central Europe
Die Existenz Großmährens wird in die Zeit vom 9. bis zur 1. Hälfte des 10. Jahrhunderts datiert. Es erstreckte sich zwischen dem karolingischen Westen und dem slawischen „Außeneuropa“ und galt als erstes Staatsgebilde der Slawen, das die militär-aristokratische Struktur Westeuropas nachahmte. Neu entdeckte separate Bestattungen mit Waffen und Sporen lassen jedoch Zweifel an dieser Deutung aufkommen. Der besondere Bestattungsritus der hier vorgele…
The dietary behavior of two early medieval individuals with temporomandibular ankylosis
Multiple occurrence of premature polyarticular osteoarthritis in an early medieval Bohemian cemetery (Prague, Czech Republic)
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…
