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 (?).

Archeologie počátků Prahy
Boháčová, Ivana
The study of available sources from the earliest phases of Prague proved not only synchronous development of the agglomeration core but also roughly contemporary construction of the fortification systems of all its basic components including the suburbium.
