Abstract Late Neolithic long barrows are commonly found throughout Central and Northwestern Europe, within the Funnel Beaker Culture territory. The sites of this known from Bohemia covering a period between 3900 3400 BC. However, have not been detected in for time. main reason is that they located areas where were affected by modern ploughing. A significant contribution to their recognition was remote sensing fields, especially aerial archaeology. Current research provided new evidence...
A combination of geophysical methods could be very a useful and practical way verifying the origin precise localisation archaeological situations identified by different remote sensing techniques. The results (and scales) monitoring these fully non-destructive provide distinct data often complement each other. presented examples combinations methods/techniques in this study (aerial survey, LIDAR-ALS surface magnetometer or resistivity survey) information on some specifics may also...
The central Bohemian hillfort-type site in Tismice is one of the largest (20–22 ha) Bohemia from Early to Middle Hillfort period (8th–9th century) and has been studied for years using non-destructive methods. study, which presents results complete geophysical survey as well small-scale trenching 2013, focussed on an analysis non-ferrous metal ornaments (c. 170 pcs., mostly belt horse harness decorations) analyses evidence craft production – jewellerymaking, metalsmithing casting (ingots,...
Abstract The reconstruction of the settlement´s hinterland and acquisition plant resources is one crucial questions in field environmental archaeology. Our study focused on settlement’s structure character environment from which site drew resources. These research were addressed by interpretation macroremains, charcoals, results spatial model. We have maximum size settlement that surrounding countryside was able to withstand. clearly demonstrated significant deforestation intensive land use...
Abstract A systematic combination of aerial and subsequent geophysical surveys over the six years ‘Settlement Patterns in Prehistoric Bohemia’ project yielded much new often surprising information about nature archaeological sites, features locations agricultural lowlands Bohemia. Newly discovered verified large ditches represent a group very diverse often, Bohemian archaeology, atypical linear features. The results large‐area magnetometric aided mapping more precisely overall separation...
Abstract Hillforts are fortified archaeological sites built from the Neolithic to Early Middle Ages within area of Europe. They were usually surrounded by fortifications consisting various combinations ramparts and ditches, which today constitute their most striking remains. Although magnetometry surveys commonly used for spatial identification a different method must be employed directly obtaining depth information. Hence, we evaluate potential electrical resistivity tomography (ERT)...
Abstract Geophysical prospection at the site of a Neolithic rondel near Bylany has been carried out in three different stages archaeological study area. The first two measurements with magnetometers were initiated as result previous investigation. last survey by five‐channel fluxgate magnetometer brought more complex results whole area revealing rondels. wide helped also to identify changes landscape and subsurface state preservation site.
The archaeological site of Březnice (Czechia) represents one the large settlements Late Bronze Age (Ha A2/B1, 14C: 1124-976 BC) in Bohemia. became known mainly for a high number so-called 'trenches', oblong pit features (breadth around 1 m, length 4-7 m), remarkable not only their specific shape but also contents (unusual amounts pottery, daub, loom weights and other finds, often with traces strong fire). In 2018-20, research project focusing on study was realized. Magnetometer survey an...
The results of detailed and large-scale geophysical measurements in archaeology have been steadily increasing for years. growth measured data has also increased the need processing interpretation; archaeology, this primarily means archaeological interpretation data. However, information contained includes a substantial volume or area varying size thickness some different natural modern anthropogenic origin (beyond interest). Like situations themselves, these must be identified demarcated....
Site description The early medieval stronghold Libice nad Cidlinou is one of the most important sites for beginnings Czech state. It situated in lowlands Central Bohemia (60 km east Prague). This type large (approx. 25 ha) a rare kind site Bohemian archaeology. was built on remnants sand-gravel terrace (two islands), naturally protected by surrounding floodplain and meanders river Cidlina (Fig. 1). inner ...

 The Czech landscape and its archaeological resources include the most varied types of prehistoric or early medieval hillforts. These fortified sites are found across a variety different locations possess functions dimensions (very often units hectares, unlike later strongholds, characterized by tenths hectares areas). Due to this large area, hillforts were verified using mainly small-scale investigations. Many other also known exist...
This article presents the results of geophysical surveys, which were carried out during period between 2011 and 2016 at Roman cemetery in Nezabylice (Chomutov district, Usti Region, NW Bohemia). Thanks to these non-destructive unusually large scale signs inner structure have been unveiled. On this basis, long-term systematic archaeological research has out, so far uncovering a number urn graves with military equipment, pit cremation graves, an elite inhumation grave, several regular...
The article evaluates the results of systematic metal detector surveys from borderland between east Bohemia and northwest Moravia over past fifteen years, supplemented with a geophysical survey early medieval hillfort near Mařín (Svitavy district). conducted have produced imports Byzantine Carolingian origin (strap ends, loops, spear tip) 7th to 9th century, cast ornaments Late Avar type 8th century occurring in greatest numbers. spatial distribution artefacts outside traditional settlement...
The Němčice site located in a strategic area of an agricultural plateau represents one the most important archaeological sites Moravia. Non-destructive surveys including largescale magnetometer survey, field artefact collections, and metal detector have been carried out there repeatedly over past two decades. New excavations during new project were focused on selected areas situations identified prospection. results investigation using test pits confirmed settlement, glass-making ritual...
Abstract The central agglomeration Němčice in Moravia gave the name – Němčice/Roseldorf type to entire gradually recognised group of large lowland settlements with production and distribution functions existing La Tène Europe 3 rd –2 nd century BC. In addition settlement features, several ditched quadrangular enclosures were also identified at settlement. One these, feature 525, was investigated 2022. history enclosure is demonstrated by finds structures found its inner space from individual...

Abstract. Geophysical methods could be used in wider scale for monitoring of changes different archaeological terrains and types situations. Agriculture, afforestation or other land use play important role real preservation surface subsurface subsoil layers. Quality many prehistoric, early medieval sites is rapidly changing during the time. Many situations are today preserved only as remains various anthropogenic activities. A substantial part these activities their state can still also...
Článek shrnuje poznatky o hradištích z přelomu starší a střední doby bronzové v jižních Čechách, kterých bylo dosaženo moderními výzkumy, geofyzikálními průzkumy detektorovými prospekcemi letech 2013–2020. Za jistá hradiště lze označit pouze lokality s moderně prozkoumaným jistě datovaným opevněním. Jsou jimi Kostelec, Vrcovice, Skočice Všemyslice – Kozí vrch. Dále je regionu známo ještě dalších 22 potencionálních hradišť. Rozborem archeologických nálezů získaných radiokarbonových dat byly...
