AB This article presents a recent archaeological find of an unknown subterranean air raid shelter in Prague Bubeneč, with preserved original furniture and technologies including a filter device against fighting gases. This shelter was originally connected with a currently partially blocked corridor leading to a neighbouring house. Bulgarian graffiti from 1954-1972 were found on the walls. Among other artefacts, two unusual tin disc items were found, with Chinese signs. Interpretation of the archaeological finds, based on an extensive archive research, enabled to give a date of the origins and use of the shelter to the period of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia.
