Archaeological research at a large settlement site of the Prague-type culture at Roztoky – This volume summarizes the results of a series of archaeological excavations carried out on the northern edge of Prague in Roztoky during 1980-1989. Among other finds a large agglomeration of settlement features from the 6th and 7th centuries AD has been discovered here. These finds belong to the so called Prague Culture which is believed to represent the earliest Slavic populations in Central Europe. The unusually high number of early medieval houses and their location on the floor of a deep canyon-like valley is to much extent enigmatic. During the following period all activities on the site terminated, one of the earliest medieval hillforts was, however, built on the opposite side of the river.
