Eneolitické dlouhé mohyly představují nejstarší pohřební monumenty v Evropě. Jsou o 1000 a více let starší než egyptské pyramidy a představují první památníky zemřelých předků, které byly na našem území budovány. Do dnešních dnů se ale nezachovaly. Na povrchu dnes po nich nezůstaly viditelné stopy, a tak byly v posledních stoletích zapomenuty. Mode...
Past human activities can be reflected in the elemental composition of contemporary soils. The paper is tackling the problem whether it is possible to distinguish prehistoric residential and ritual activities based on the elemental composition of soils. Specifically, the paper is addressing the question of whether Neolithic long barrows were built...
Výzdoba keramiky je vcelku běžným projevem dávných kultur, který napomáhá archeologům nádoby stylově a chronologicky zařadit. Jde ale jen o výzdobu, nebo mají některé motivy hlubší symbolický význam a znázorňují svět dávných zemědělců? Zdá se, že některé vzory byly pro naše předky univerzálně srozumitelné a nesly v sobě konkrétní sdělení, které byl...
Although multiple burial contexts are uncommon, they are a typical feature of Corded Ware funerary behaviour. This paper focuses on various aspects of Corded Ware multiple burials in Bohemia and the adjacent regions of Central Europe. Particular attention is given to the occurrence of burials in the antipode position and the age, gender and possibl...
After two years of pandemic delays the 9th World Archaeological Congress (WAC-9) took place in Prague from July 3 to 8, 2022. Archaeologists
from seventy countries from around the world addressed
the challenges of today's globalised world. This is a short report on this global gathering.
Pohled na dávnou minulost naší evropské identity se může mnohým z nás zdát samozřejmý a mnohdy ani nedokážeme přesně pojmenovat hlavní rysy našeho evropanství. Je to přirozené, mnoho z naší kulturní identity má totiž kořeny hluboko v pravěku. Utvářela se po více než 300 generací a její současný vývoj je dynamickou syntézou dávných tradic s globální...
Už vás někdy napadlo, proč mají Evropané světlou pleť? Zda jsme nositeli neandertálských genů a pokud ano, jaký to může mítá vliv na naši imunitu vůči patogenům? Byl někdy patriarchát? Odkud do Evropy přišli první zemědělci a Indoevropané? Kdy začaly první pandemie? Zda se vůbec mMáme vůbec pátrat po keltských, germánských nebo a slovanských „kapká...
Dear Colleagues,
we are pleased to invite you to our session for the 29th Annual Meeting of the European Association of Archaeologists (EAA), which will be held in Belfast, Northern Ireland from 30 August to 2 September 2023

Major changes in social norms and perhaps cosmology of farming communities occurred in Central Europe during the Third Millennium BC. Amongst the changes was sudden discontinuity in the long tradition of ditch and hill top enclosures. This phenomenon has its pedigree in the Neolithic round ditch shrines, so called rondels. Despite of many formal ch...
After six years of preparation and two postponements the 9th World Archaeological Congress was held in Prague 3–8 July 2022. WAC-9 in Prague was hosted as a hybrid event. Some 630 people from 70 countries attended the Congress. Bearing in mind the Covid-19 pandemic restrictions and the influence of the Russian invasion of Ukraine affecting whole re...
Welcome Address from the WAC-9 Academic Secretary
Dear WAC Members, dear colleagues!
36 years after its birth in Southampton, the World Archaeological Congress has come
back to Europe having grown into a highly influential world organization. However,
the way to Prague was not straight forward. In March 2020, when we were finalizing
preparations,...
This study is the initial part of an extensive research project (GA21-25440S) focussing mainly on the long barrows of the 5th and 4th millennium BC and the reconstruction of the ceremonial landscape around Mount Říp in Central/Northern Bohemia. The extensive landscape reconstruction project, including targeted excavations, is currently being develo...
After development over two millennia of Neolithic monumental architecture
(enclosures & long barrows) in Central Europe, the 3rd Millennium BC seems
to bring a hiatus in the creation of such monuments. The cult and worship
moved to natural shrines (Corded Ware) and became invisible in the
archaeological record. However, in the last decade, some new...

Před šesti tisíci lety se mezi Dněstrem a Dněprem na území dnešní Ukrajiny zrodila jedna z nejstarších civilizací pravěké Evropy. Dnes odkrýváme pozůstatky obrovských sídelních aglomerací tisíců neolitických zemědělců tripolské kultury. Život těchto rozsáhlých komunit ale způsobil vyčerpání přírodních zdrojů, a velká kumulace lidí dokonce jednu z n...

Není to tak dlouho, co jsme skoro všichni byli zemědělci. Vždyť ještě v roce 1900 žilo na venkově kolem 90 % evropského obyvatelstva. Možná proto se nás dotýká zastavování úrodné zemědělské půdy a s tíživým pocitem prožíváme sucho na polích a kůrovcovou kalamitu v lese. Zdálo by se, že z obojího můžeme vinit hlavně počasí, ale velkou roli sehrává i...
Based on reconstruction of the spatial context of causewayed enclosures and long barrows of the Proto-and Early Eneolithic period, we attempt to model the phenomenon of the ritual landscape in Central and North Bohemia.

This is the manuscript of my first research piece on the burial rites and social structure of prehistoric populations. It was written in 1986/1987 and defended in a state high school scientific competition in Prague.

Evžen Neustupný (Died January 14, 2021) throughout his life fulfilled the adjective of his surname (Neustupny´ = Pertinacious). He truly led his entire professional life with incredible determination, firmness of opinion and admirably systematic thinking.
Dear WAC Members, Dear Colleagues,
As the Covid-19 Pandemic is still limiting our communication and the WAC-9 had to be postponed to 2022, we are going to organize an online Pre-congress that may help us to keep contact and discuss the key issues of World Archaeology prior to the regular meeting in Prague 2022.

Dne 14. ledna 2021 by se diplomovaný technik Karel Král dožil sta let. Jeho přání dožít se 21. století se mu bohužel nesplnilo, a tak jeho život, podobně jako archeologická epocha zámečku Hanspaulka, vyplnil větší část minulého století. Protože se moje vzpomínky na přátelství s panem Králem a naše společné archeologické aktivity do značné míry pojí...
Dear WAC members, dear colleagues and friends, on behalf of the
WAC-9 LOC I have to regrettably inform you that due to continuing
COVID-19 pandemic we have no choice but to change the schedule of the
congress once again. The WAC Executive Board and WAC Council have
unanimously endorsed such decision. The new dates for WAC-9 are 3rd–
8th July 2022.
Na první pohled by se mohlo zdát, že ukládání
energie je ryze moderní problém naší civilizace.
Omyl. Ukládání energie řešili už naši pravěcí
předkové. Možná neměli baterie, zato trvanlivé
výdobytky jejich schopností mezi námi kolují
dodnes. Dennodenně se jich dotýká každý z nás.
Covid-19 je největší pandemií, která lidstvo v posledních sto letech postihla, a je pro většinu z nás zcela novou zkušeností. Proč jsme tak překvapeni a v mnoha ohledech nepřipraveni na vypuknutí globální choroby? Praktická zkušenost současného lidstva s takovým nebezpečím totiž z naší živé paměti zmizela. A máme nač vzpomínat. Pohled do minulosti...

Archeologové zjistili, že lidé z pozdní doby kamenné
(eneolitu) používali nové typy keramických nádob, které jejich
předkové nepotřebovali. Takové nádoby nacházíme nejen
v hrobech, ale také v celých souborech ukládaných do země
mimo pohřebiště, patrně jako součást nějakého obětního
rituálu. Podobné „rituály“ dodnes provozují miliony lidí na
celém s...
Dear readers, it has been exciting 8 years of my life being co-editor of

na ObálkU knihy Arény předků 1 jsme zvolili letecký snímek Strahovského sta-dionu. U některých čtenářů obrázek mohl vyvolat překvapení. Proč je právě stadion z 20. století na knize o časně eneolitických příkopových ohrazeních? Jak se čtenář záhy doví, existuje řada for-málních i symbolických podobností s pravě-kými "arénami předků". Pravděpodobně n...
Beer is not only a favourite drink for many archaeologists, but is increasingly the subject of their research. Brewing and beer consumption have played a significant role in prehistoric human cultures around the world. Beer was a tasty, nutritious food, a substance affecting the mind, medicine, a religious symbol, as well as a social medium and an...
Předkládaný svazek je nejrozsáhlejším přehledem českého eneolitu vůbec, přesahuje dokonce i dílo Albína Stockého z roku 1926, dodnes monumentální. Odlišuje se od něj tím, že se nesnaží o předvedení velké masy nálezů, ale klade naopak důraz na relativní úplnost pramenných kategorií a na jejich stručnou konceptualizaci v rámci současných teorií.

When discussing Beaker settlements in Bohemia and Moravia, we need to clarify what exactly we are looking for. If we are seeking for continuity, we can find it in the ongoing tradition of the Eneolithic-Bronze Age Pottery Complex as it was introduced by Evžen Neustupný (1995). If we are looking for change, we can observe severe restrictions in the...
The ways in which the “Bell Beaker package” spread across most of Central and Western Europe may have been different from region to region. Prestigious artefacts circulated through exchange, migration by infiltration, interregional marriages and mobility of individuals. This, however, does not explain why people from geographically and culturally d...
A reconsideration of some previous archaeological interpretations of gender may offer much more variability and freedom to our current understanding of gender identity. The perception of gender in archaeological interpretations commonly reflects our current social reality. In the Western Christian worldview, the traditional gender categories of men...
This is the third part of the catalogue of Bell Beaker cemeteries in Prague. Finds from the Prague Vltava right riverbank were presented in the last two parts of the catalogue (Turek 2005a, 2008a – Archaeologica Pragensia 17 and 19). The first part of finds from the Prague Vltava left riverbank will be presented in this volume of the catalogue. Eac...
Propaganda and political engagement of Central European Archaeology.
Archaeology, a science studying material sources with which mankind shaped their world and social relations in the past, may appear to be an apolitical discipline. The opposite is true. National and ideological propagandists have long used archaeology since its very beginnings....
The Causewayed enclosures phenomenon has been in the focus of European archaeology since the beginning of the last century. These monuments are amongst the characteristic manifestations of European agricultural prehistory. Since the beginning of the interest in these monuments, there has been extensive discussion of the interpretation of their purp...
