Epigraphic context of the Arabic numerals
Prix, Dalibor ; Roháček, Jiří
The article deals with the beginning of the usage of the Arabic numerals on monuments or public buildings during the Middle Ages in Bohemia. Apart from the overall evaluation and methodical analysis (Jiří Roháček), the author points out two, relatively early, possible cases of the usage of the Arabic numerals in commemorative years in Hrusice in Bohemia and in Javor in Silesia (Dalibor Prix).

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 (?).

The Mediaeval Settlement of Bohušov (northern Moravia) and the Origins of St Martin Church
Prix, Dalibor ; Zezula, M.
The study is based on a research of St Martin Church in terms of archaeology and construction history. It monitors the Slavonic settlement in the municipality and the region before the construction of the early Gothic building and a subsequent construction of a brick church at an older cemetery. The church dating from 1275-1280 was the work of the builders and stonemasons who also built the municipal church in the nearby town of Osoblaha. It was built below the residential castle of Fulštejn for Herbord of Fulštejn, the sewer of Bruno, the Bishop of Olomouc, and it proves the influence of episcopal architecture on the remote Moravian-Silesian borderland.
