A survey of the house basement at The Havel's market revealed surprisingly detailed picture of the medieval and early Post-medieval dynamic transformation of this seemingly common house on a standard location plot. Five historical phases may be defined as results of the survey, illustrating the significance of this house within the building history in medieval town surroundings.>> House of medium width (13 m plot), 2nd half of the 13th century, its layout and relation to the neighbor correspond with previously documented houses in the same frontage of Havel's Market. Its development within its plot however is non-standard; it expands fast...

According to recent research the historic and the archaeological evidence of the Golden Lane at Prague Castle complement each other rather than overlap. Archaeology documented in the Lane mainly concerns its earlier building development including the period prior Rudolf II. The social aspect of the inhabitants could not be inferred from the archaeological artefacts since the waste material was deposited outside the Lane, most probably in the Jelení (Deer) Ditch. The multi-layered street, as indicated by the pottery evaluation, was formed from other parts of the Prague Castle. The documentary evidence and the plans mainly from the 17th and 18th centuries...

During the reign of Ferdinand I (1527-1564), in the Bohemian Lands and Prague, the Renaissance began to be fully applied, being manifested in various ways. The builders, using the new architectural vocabulary, to some extent followed the characteristic motifs of medieval architecture. The tall gable ends of the houses received Renaissance features in shape of swallow tails, which still resembled the Gothic stepped gables. Similarly the earlier towers were used for new purposes such as viewing points in a form of pavilions or galleries with decorative crenellation. Other motifs of the roof architecture, giving Prague a new look, were horizontal gables,...

The building stone of medieval Prague is white or yellow tinted opuka. Its hegemony is occasionally disrupted by non-traditional stone material, mainly various kinds of sandstone or black-grey Ordovician slate. Sporadic constructions from this dark atypical material raised great interest in the early days of detailed research of Prague historic centre. The knowledge of the buildings with massive use of slate was revised after several decades of intensive rescue excavations. Comprehensive catalogue proves the use of Ordovician slate as construction material in the medieval Prague as absolute exception. The traditional presumption that the slate houses...

Glass Window and door panes in the Capuchin church of Saint Mary of the Angels at Hradčany
Die Ausfüllungen der Fenster- und Türöffnungen der Kapuzinerkirche Unser lieben Frauen zu den Engeln in Hradschin

This material study draws attention to significant Baroque window and door panes in the church of Saint Mary of the Angels, one of the few in which these historic fittings are preserved to a great extent. The authors could include only panes at least partially accessible for documentation. The dating possibilities are discussed of the panes, which originated in various Baroque phases of the church construction with post war repairs. Apparently the precise dating of most of the items is not possible due to the lack of information.

Reflection on the transition to a legally constituted city on the eastern part of the excavation area of Holan Palace in the Old Town of Prague No. 684/I

Research of burgher houses in the Old Town of Prague presents a very complex theme requiring a cooperation of a wide range of scientific disciplines such as history, archaeology, history of architecture etc. Rescue archaeological excavation of the plot No. 690 in Rybná Street in 1992 revealed extensive assemblage of medieval contexts and artefacts, which illustrate the transformation of the early medieval Prague settlement agglomeration of the 12th century into the legally constituted city of High Middle Ages. New detailed analyses of the archaeological contexts and of the burgher buildings from around 1300 and their material culture provide an insight...
