The presented paper deals with evaluation of a collection of medieval ceramics, uncovered by archaeologist Josef Skutil in 1955. The findings were obtained during the demolition of the house at 27 Ztracená Street, Olomouc, and recorded in the archaeological subcollection of the Regional Museum in Olomouc. Based on analysis of the ceramic vessels and a vessel tile, the entire collection can be dated back to the 14th century up to the beginning of the 15th century. The presented collection of medieval pottery and a tile contributes to better knowledge of the equipment of Olomouc bourgeois householdsunder the reign of the House of Luxembourg.

In 2022, a ploughed-up bronze hoard from the Early Bronze Age was discovered in ‘Nad Oborou’ field (Charváty cadastral area, Olomouc District). The hoard consists of 33 ring ingots/neck rings and six bronze axes. The entire assemblage can be dated to the later phase of the Early Bronze Age. Another find, a flat axe, which can be dated to the Eneolithic, is likely unrelated to the hoard. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In 2023, the Regional Museum in Olomouc acquired a fragment of a bronze axe with a stop bar (Fig. 6). The artefact originates from Drahanovice (Ludéřov cadastral area, Olomouc District) and can be dated to the period from the Middle Bronze Age to the beginning of the Late Bronze Age.

In the article we deal with research conducted by Zora Trňáčková in the village Dolany (Olomouc). In 1962, she conducted the exploration of a medieval building in the vicinity of house No. 50. The brief saved description of the finding situation and the analysis of the collected clay daub points to the building as having been a wood and clay structure. Analysis of the acquired ceramic samples indicates an approximate dating around the first half of the 15th century. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article focuses on the evaluation of archaeological finds from the area of the Germanic settlement in the cadastre of the village Loučany. V. Kohoutek acquired the first pottery from Roman times in the “Záplatky” and “Na Kruzích” lines by surface collection in 2008. Subsequently, K. Faltýnek, T. Jursa and T. Přidal conducted a further surface survey, including the use of a metal detector. The analysis of artefacts indicates that the beginnings of the settlement can be traced to the early Roman period, but the focus of the settlement activities belongs to the second half of the 3rd to 4th centuries.

In 2023, the Regional Museum in Olomouc obtained a part of a bronze bracelet from the Late Iron Age (Fig. 14), which was found by a metal detectorist in ‘U Spravedlnosti’ field (Náměšť na Hané cadastral area, Olomouc District). The artefact can be dated to the LT B2–C1 stages. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In 2023, the Regional Museum in Olomouc obtained a collection of artefacts (Fig. 12) originating from the ‘Morávka’ site (Chořelice cadastral area, Olomouc District).

In 2022, the Regional Museum in Olomouc acquired a bronze double-armed mace (Fig. 13), which was found in the cadastral area of Lošov (Olomouc District) using a metal detector. The artefact can be attributed to the Carpathian variant, characterised by the placement of the upper disc. These artefacts are known from the late Middle to the Late Bronze Age contexts in the Piliny and Lusatian Urnfield cultures. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In 2021, a surface survey was conducted in the vicinity of Špraněk Castle, near the villages of Luká and Javoříčko (Březina cadastral area, Olomouc District). The collected finds (Fig. 47) can be dated from the late 13th to the 14th century. This dating corresponds with limited written sources – the castle was indirectly mentioned for the first time in 1313 and was last referred to as a place of the former manor house in 1398.

The presented paper deals with early modern findings from a rescue archaeological excavation conducted in connection with illegal construction of a family house in Olomouc-Slavonín. One of the house sections exposed a cultural layer containing a large collection of early modern ceramics and chamber tiles, including stove daub. The layer can be interpreted as landfill containing a destroyed stove. Based on an analysis of the findings, this situation can be dated back to the second half of the 17th century up to the beginning of the 18th century. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The presented paper focuses on a collection of high medieval ceramics rescued by the curator of the Museum of the Capital of Olomouc Robert Smetana in 1938. The findings were located in the cellar of house No. 504, today’s 8th May Street (former Mořické Square No. 3). Only recently the majority of the material has been identified by the curator of the archaeological sub-collection of the Regional Museum in Olomouc. Based on the available analysis of the findings, the entire set can be dated back to the 15th century. The presented collection contributes to better knowledge of Olomouc burgher households equipment in the 15th century. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Among the many items held by the Regional Museum in Olomouc are two stove extensions with polychrome, glazed front walls. Both items were discovered between 1877 and 1878 during the renovation of house number 364, Opletalova Street, Olomouc. This article deals with the history of the house and the dating of both stove extensions, which based on analogous examples, can be dated back to the 16th century. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The central theme of the presented contribution is the development of early medieval settlement in the territory of the former judicial district of Šternberk na Moravě. Settlement can be reconstructed on the basis of few references in written documents from the 11th to 13th centuries that allow to get a rough idea of the extent of settlement of the entire Šternberk region. This outline is completed with archaeological findings from both surface collections and several archaeological researches. According to the state of art, it is possible to date back the beginning of settlement in the said territory to the middle hillfort period, and its development took place in the following late hillfort period.

In the second half of the 1990s, two rescue archeological excavations were carried out in the village of Hnojice. In both cases, it was the research from the line excavations (during which findings from the early Middle Ages layers were partially explored) as well as several findings from the cultural layers. Although the gathered material remains sample is not extensive, it can be relatively reliably classified into the period from the 11th to the first half of the 13th century. The presented collection of findings shows that there was an early medieval settlement in the area of Hnojice village square, first mentioned in the inventory of the property of the Olomouc Chapter in the first half of the 12th century.

In 2021, the Regional Museum in Olomouc acquired a collection of archaeological finds from the cadastral area of Křelov (Olomouc District). The collection predominantly contains medieval pottery dating from the 13th to the 15th century. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article presents a series of stove tiles acquired from the area of Loštice town. This assemblage was identified during the collection revision of the Regional Museum in Olomouc. The set can be dated to the wider period from the second half of the 15th century to the 17th century. We can find analogies for most motifs depicted on the front heating tile walls in the area of Central and Eastern Moravia, but it cannot be clearly determined that all of the stove products described were made right in Loštice.

A partly damaged waste sump was identified in one of the layers of a sewage excavation during the execution of watching brief at Chořelice. A number of early modern ceramic items were successfully excavated from its content. There were also some late Renaissance tiles among the findings that probably come from the same heating unit. This is one of the most numerous sets of stove-making products from the grounds of an early modern village in the central Moravia at all. It is possible to get an at least rough idea of heating units in the second half of the 16th century up to the first half of the 17th century in the rural environment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
