The Corpus Christi chapel is deserted since the governing period of the House of Luxembourg. Its building structure has never been documented in detail. Current reconstruction of the building was based on several general written records and period prints. Archaeological excavation of the church site has not been pursued until 2011 due to revitalisation of the Charles square. Its results enable to specify not only the appearance of the chapel remains below current square surface but also to reconstruct the settlement development of this site.

Presentation of an early medieval cemetery, discovered in 2012 during an excavation of a canalisation shaft in front of the house No. 347 in the Na Perštýně Street in Prague - Staré Město. The only analogy to the specific arrangement of this cemetery, mainly lining of the graves with ferrous sandstones blocks and noticeable depth of the grave pits has been found in a nearby cemetery of "foreign merchants" in the Bartolomějská Street, excavated in 1936. In conformity with this analogy and according to the evaluation of the new stratigraphy this find can be most probably dated to the 10th century.
