The article summarises current knowledge of the settlement on Kyje promontory (departement of Prague 14, part of Staré Kyje) and its surroundings from prehistoric to modern times and presents in this context the results of the archaeological excavation of the cemetery at St. Bartholomew's Church, undertaken in 1995. The main prehistoric settlement of the promontory dates to the Middle and Late Bronze Age, with continuity to the La Tène period. Since intact features occurred only marginally, the article focuses on the analysis of the artefacts. The second part of the article assesses the excavation of the cemetery from the 2nd half (3rd third)...

The paper presents everyday life of the inhabitants of Prague New Town in the early modern period through archaeological finds coming from the fill of a large cesspit belonging to the former burgher house No. 69/II in Spálená Street. The performed analysis proved the interpretation of the finds' context difficult with regard to the repetitive use of the feature. The assemblage of the artefacts is not exceptional; therefore attention was focused on its most attractive component - the pewter ware. The authors attempted a broader search of this issue and analysis of available written evidence with the aim to find out whether the obtained data can bring...

Archaeological excavation of the deserted pre-location settlement at Opatovice revealed evidence of extensive domestic and craft activities, which vanished during the 1st half of the 13th century. Further analyses confirmed existence of a developed workshop for the production and processing of iron, as well as the production of non-ferrous metals and their alloys.

At the turn of the 20th century, Prague underwent a tumultuous architectural development, reflecting the diverse ambitions of the period and the deep transformation in the understanding of the city centre and its role. Wenceslas Square with its neighbourhood, spontaneously evolving into the "city" - i. e. the economic and social centre of the fledgling metropolis - was a remarkable stage of this transformation. The significant architectural development, through which the area underwent during a short period, provoked heritage and urban reactions. At first the decline of the original Baroque space was critically reflected, which was important for the...

Fragments of the Gothic architecture of St. Peter's and Paul's Church in Zlatníky
Gotische Architekturfragmente der Kirche der hl. Peter und Paul in Zlatníky

Identification of many medieval buildings is limited to the survey of their material reused in subsequent constructions, or in newly built or adapted structures of the original building. In some cases, the documentation of such recycled material is the only source of knowledge about the architecture of the original structure, such as the Church of St. Peter and Paul in Zlatníky near Prague, where the burghers of Prague were very involved. Dislocated fragments from the defunct medieval church were extensively reused in the construction of the new church in 1857. They allow the dating of the medieval church latest to the 14th century, perhaps with an...
