Kirchner, Karel ; Kallabová, Eva ; Kuča, M.
This contribution is especially dealing with the selected aspects of the prehistoric and less historic influences, which are connected with the settlement colonization and the others joint activities (problems of civilization). The function of the traffic network (questions of the middle course of the Svratka River as communication line) was an important studied aspect also. Centre of the primeval settlement in the studied area is possible to suppose in the Neolithic era. In addition to favourable climate and soils, useful local quality resources of row material (hornblende diorite, diorite porphyry) are located in the studied area, row material was exploiting for making of the edged stone industries. The prehistoric settlement is documented by the findings of pottery as well. Study of the anthropogenic relief in the northwest Brno vicinity of is a partial output of grant projects no. 205/06/1024 and no. 404/05/H527 supported by Grant Foundation of the Czech Republic.
