Study on the history of the medieval settlement. Archeology in the Telč area.
BARTUŠEK, Petr

Based on the summarized knowledge of the hitherto performed archaeological research and historically oriented studies the development of the settlement in the examined area in 13 and 14 century is delineated here. The paper is primarily based on the research that has already been done by the Vysocina Museum in Jihlava and on PhDr. Josef Blaha and Prof. PhDr. Lubomir Konecny´s works along with some other archaeologists concerned with the research of the Telč localities. The paper is demonstrating a possible approach to the problems of the local medieval settlement and implies some other information obtained from the current historical and archaeological research of the microregion. The paper is also attempting to point out some hitherto unanswered problems and questions referring to the archaeological explorations in the Telc area. Annexes: Map sets, drawings and photographic documentation of immovable archaeological monuments drawings and photographic documentation of archaeological finds, photographical documentation of presumed ZSO positions.

Pattern-welded sword from the grave No. 715, Mikulčice, and its metallographic examination
Hošek, Jiří ; Košta, J.
The investigated sword comes from Mikulčice Stronghold, which was one of the main power centres of the Gr. Moravian Empire created in the first third of the 9th century and abolished by invasion of Avars into Carpathian basin at the beginning of the 10th century. The weapon was lifted from the grave No. 715, in which also a knife, an axe, and remnants of spurs were found besides the sword. It is supposed, on the base of badly preserved skeleton, that the interred man died in age of 40-60. The sword is due to its general sturdy construction, a two-piece pommel, and a short guard, obviously related to the early-Carolingian types and could be roughly dated to the first half of the 9th century. The sword ranks rather among display weapons, because its pattern-welded blade, which was presumably never destined for frequent combat, was only iron in preserved cutting-edges, and any previous effective improvement by steel and subsequent heat treatment cannot be evidenced in the cutting lines.
