The summary of results of the present archaeological excavations in the area of the Cistercian cloister in Sedlec by Kutná Hora
Velímský, Filip
The article is a brief summary of results of the rescue archaeological excavations near the convent church of the Assumption of Virgin Mary in the area of the Cistercian convent in Sedlec by Kutná Hora in years 2004-2008. The author focuses mainly on two new discoveries, which are crucial for the building history, concretely on the coin depot containing Prague Gross of Václav II. and Jan Lucemburský, dating the completion of the chapels in the east side of the convent church to the 2nd decade of 14th century at the latest, and on the partial uncovering of so far unregistered building, with high probability an older Romanesque convent church.

Archaeological tinned iron artefacts
Ottenwelter, Estelle ; Leroux, M. ; Děd, J.
Tinning of iron is a technique used since the second half of the 5 th century BC by ancient craftsmen. It was used as a decorative technique imitating silver, as a corrosion resistant barrier, as a suitable surface for soldering, and for its non-toxic properties. Usually badly preserved and hidden under iron corrosion products, it is though visible on X-radiography and can be identified by chemical analysis. Its conservation poses problems during mechanical cleaning and desalination treatments.

Minor medieval fortifications in Skorošice, near Javorník
Kouřil, Pavel ; Prix, Dalibor
In this contribution, the authors asses what little remains of minor medieval fortifications (motts) in the cadastre of the village of Skorošice in Czech Silesia. There are no written records of the two fortifications, only sparse archaeological finds. These enable the dating of the constructions to the 14th century; they did not last long and probably did not survive the Hussite military campaign in Silesia in 1428 (?).
