AB  - A contribution to the burial rite of Prague Jewish minority during the middle ages, based upon a rescue excavation in modern Vladislavova street. The excavation revealed part of the former cemetery (the so called Jewish garden) with graves from 1274-1478. From the total number of 401 exposed graves some were scientifically documented. Apart from spatial analysis, information was also gained concerning burial practises, from which some have no analogies in European literature. Questions addressed by the excavation of this cemetery are of relevance to regions beyond Bohemia.
