Horse mandible from Plotiště nad Labem, Czech Republic, reveals a mode of equine control in the Early Bronze Age
A horse ( Equus caballus ) mandible, probably from a 4.5–5.5-year-old male, recovered from an assemblage at the Early Bronze Age fortified settlement of Plotiště nad Labem (Czech Republic), exhibits substantial remodelling. The pathology consists of severe narrowing restricted to the rostral part of the diastema, while the premolars remain intact. We interpret it as a vital reaction to the long-term application of a loop tightened around the dias…
Pohřebiště starší doby bronzové v Plotištích nad Labem a jejich význam v rámci osídlení regionu
Pohřební aktivity ze starší doby bronzové (přibližně 2200–1700/1650 př. Kr.) byly v Plotištích nad Labem (okr. Hradec Králové) nalezeny na třech místech. Lokalita Plotiště nad Labem A byla zkoumána v šedesátých letech 20. století a bylo zde odkryto celkem 50 hrobů a tři sídlištní objekty s lidskými skelety. Z lokality Plotiště nad Labem B pocházejí dva skelety v sídlištních objektech. Mi¬nimálně deset hrobů bylo odkryto již na počátku 20. století…
Fish Bone Finds from the Archaeological Excavation of the Early Mediaeval Hillfort in Prague-Královice
This contribution analyses the remains of fish from archaeological excavation in the area of the fortified early mediaeval centre in Prague-Královice (12th–early 13th centuries). An analysis of the available material indicates a regular and widespread consumption of fish, which was, however, only a dietary supplement. Catfish (Silurus glanis) with a body length of about 75 cm, and pike (Esox lucius) with body lengths of about 45 cm and 60 cm were…
Archaeology of the main waste dump of the Sauersack/Rolava POW camp in the Ore Mountains (NW Bohemia)
The Sauersack/Rolava POW camp from World War II is the first archaeologically investigated site of its kind in Bohemia, and thanks to its highly authentic state of preservation it can be considered one of the best archaeologically known internment facilities in Europe. Nevertheless, new findings continue to emerge, including information from illegal treasure hunters. In 2022, the main settlement waste dump was identified and due to the threat to …
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…

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…
Did they leave or not
One of the key unresolved questions regarding the archaeology of La Tène Europe concerns the continuity of settlement around 400 BC. Archaeological evidence of settlement in the countries north of the Alps, including the Czech Republic, declines during this period – a decline which for decades has generally been attributed to population migration. Demographic growth, climate deterioration, land depletion, disease, and social crisis have all been …
Proměny pohřebních zvyklostí starší a mladší doby železné ve střední Evropě / Changes in the burial customs in the Early and Late Iron Age in Central Europe
Burial customs underwent gradual changes during the Iron Age, sometimes revealing significant upheavals occurring in the socio-spiritual sphere of the time. Both commonalities and differences between Western and Eastern Europe can be observed in the development of Iron Age burial practices. Particular attention is paid to the differences between the western and eastern parts of Central Europe, which come to the forefront in LT C2 and are probably…
New discoveries change existing views on the domestication of the horse and specify its role in human prehistory and history – a review
The great importance of the domestic horse in human history and culture has long made it a significant subject of research. The historical role of the horse and new studies and discoveries that are key to understanding its domestication provided the impetus for this paper. The review presents and discusses the current state of know ledge and ideas concerning the origins, domestication, early history, historical roles, and exploitation of this dom…
The Rediscovery of a Labour Camp on the Construction Site of the Stalin Monument in Prague
The rediscovery of a labour camp on the construction site of the Stalin Monument in Prague in spring 2021 was the result of a construction project of the Municipality of Prague. Until then, the existence of this specific site had not been reflected neither in the historical memory of the place nor in the literature devoted to the monstrous monument (dismantled in 1962), which was both a superb work of art and engineering and the most significant …
The Late Pleistocene History of the Brown Bear Ursus Arctos Linnaeus, 1758 in the Czech Republic
During the Late Pleistocene (MIS 5e-2), the brown bear Ursus arctos was widespread in the Czech Republic. From this time interval, the species was recorded in 51 Czech localities, including 10 open-air and 41 cave sites. A total of 18 radiocarbon dates obtained from the material showed the presence of the species in this territory 46–12.6 kyr ago during the Late Pleistocene, but most of the dates are concentrated between 45.7 and 29.3 kyr. Later,…
The history of the domestic cat in Central Europe
A recent study from Central Europe has changed our perception of the cat's domestication history. The authors discuss how this has led to the development of an interdisciplinary project combining palaeogenetics, zooarchaeology and radiocarbon dating, with the aim of providing insight into the domestic cat's expansion beyond the Mediterranean
Marine fish in the Czech lands in the Middle and Early Modern Ages
The origins and spread of domestic horses from the Western Eurasian steppes
Domestication of horses fundamentally transformed long-range mobility and warfare 1 . However, modern domesticated breeds do not descend from the earliest domestic horse lineage associated with archaeological evidence of bridling, milking and corralling 2–4 at Botai, Central Asia around 3500 bc 3 . Other longstanding candidate regions for horse domestication, such as Iberia 5 and Anatolia 6 , have also recently been challenged. Thus, the genetic,…
Dog size and variability in the Late Eneolithic
The hundreds of drilled dog teeth—mainly incisors and canines—found as ornaments in the graves of women and children from the Corded Ware culture in Bohemia, Czech Republic, provide a unique opportunity for biometric investigation. Large series of teeth often found in a single burial set enable consideration of variability in intra‐site dog size, which in contrast to many later cultures/periods appears to be surprisingly low, probably due to rand…
The materiality of forced labour
The paper deals with archaeological, osteological and archaeobotanical analysis of the artefacts and ecofacts obtained by excavation in waste landfills from the Second World War. The settlement waste was produced by three communities with different social status, which were connected with the Rolava mining and processing plant in the Ore Mountains in western Bohemia. The plant was built to supply the war industry of the Third Reich with non-ferro…

Red deer (Cervus elaphus) skeleton from the Early Bronze Age pit at Brandýs (Czech Republic)
The size of domestic cattle, sheep, goats and pigs in the Czech Lengyel and Eneolithic Periods
Osteometric data were analysed from the main domestic animals existing in central Europe during the Neolithic and Eneolithic (Chalcolithic) periods, specifically cattle (Bos taurus), sheep (Ovis aries), goats (Capra hircus), and pigs (Sus domesticus). The results are based on a combined evaluation of selected dental and postcranial measurements (in total nearly 1100 measured values) obtained from archaeological material from the Bohemian and Mora…
Horse size and domestication
We collected and evaluated, by the 'logarithmic size index' (LSI) method, all available postcranial equid bones found in the Czech Republic from the Neolithic to the Early Bronze Age. Material from the Upper Paleolithic (Magdalenien) and Bohemian Late Bronze Age (Knovíz culture) was also included. Two different species of equids were documented: Equus hydruntinus Regalia, 1907 and Equus ferus Boddaert, 1785. The variation in the size of true hors…

MtDNA haplotype identification of aurochs remains originating from the Czech Republic (Central Europe)
This study presents the results of the analysis of mtDNA bone samples morphologically determined to be aurochs (Bos primigenius) from four various archaeological finds in the Czech Republic (Central Europe). The results from two of them - the Pleistocene sample from Praha-Řeporyje and the Neolithic sample from Vedrovice - probably represent contamination by modern DNA. Sequences identified in the Eneolithic Kutná Hora-Denemark site (~5 thousand B…
Short Contribution
In this paper four cases of severe enamel and dentine defects in the upper canines of male domestic pigs (Sus scrofa f. domestica) from the Iron Age and medieval sites in Bohemia (Czech Republic) are presented. Such severe defects observed in the osteoarchaeological record are a fairly rare condition. They are in all likelihood the result of intra and extra alveolar traumas. In two cases the growing area was completely or partially divided, proba…
Evidence of the use of a horn yoke in the Middle La Tène period, and an analysis of animal finds from La Tène features in the Velké Zboží and Malé Zboží cadasters, central Bohemia
During archaeological excavations of three La Tène features in 2001 and 2002 at the periphery of the Velké Zboží and Malé Zboží cadasters (Nymburk district), a total of 33 animal bones were obtained. Only domestic mammals were determined in the material: cattle, sheep/goat (of which only sheep is reliably documented), pig, horse and dog. A valuable find from feat. 8 (LT C2-D1) is a horn core from a domestic cattle (Bos taurus), which shows signs …
European Pond Turtles from Obříství (Bohemia, Czech Republic)
The paper describes and analyses recent finds of the European pond turtle ( Emys orbicularis ) from the archaeological sites at Obříství (Mělník District, at the confluence of the Elbe and Moldau rivers in the Bohemian Basin, Czech Republic). Turtle remains were found in three sunken features dated to the Late Bronze Age or to the Hallstatt period, and in one feature dated to the Neolithic. The high number of osteological finds, particularly the …
