AB A listing of all archaeological research activities within the "Jewish Garden" emphasizing the results of research carried out in 2009-2014 and presenting their contribution to the expansion of our existing knowledge of what is the largest necropolis of a Jewish community in medieval Bohemia. Burials took place in the necropolis from the second half of the 13th century to the second half of the 15th century. In the 14th century it was attached to the northern part of the Upper New Town of Prague. The work of archaeologists within this monitored area was primarily associated with the new construction of the Quadrio commercial office building, in an area where there once was a traditional dense urban area originating in the early Middle Ages, until the construction of the metro in the 1970's. New findings about the Jewish cemetery supplement a wide range of recent discoveries regarding the settlement mosaic of the investigated area.
