The book, based on the author's dissertation, uses a specific archaeological assemblage of pottery marks in an attempt to better understand the level of social and political complexity of early medieval, and especially Great Moravian, society. In the opening chapters, the author created a model of the economic and social complexity of 9th century Moravia to fully exploit the potential of this archaeological assemblage. In the model, he elaborates on the interrelationship between the nature of power institutions and the nature of the contemporary economy, in the context of which the vessels with marks on their bottoms were produced and distributed. This model, which primarily focuses on the presumed core of Great Moravia and considers it as a power-decentralized milieu, is subsequently tested by the assemblage of ceramic fragments with pottery marks from the contemporary power and economic centres in Mikulčice, Břeclav–Pohansko, Staré Zámky in Brno-Líšeň, Staré Město (district Uherské Hradiště) and the burial sites in Prušánky and Nechvalín. The results of the mutual comparison of individual imprints of pottery marks and the analysis of their spatial distribution correspond to the assumptions derived from the theoretical model. They thus both present the potential for further detailed study of this archaeological source and give the unorthodox model of Great Moravia basic credibility.

Zvláštní raně středověké hroby objevené ve Starém Městě – „Na Valách“ a problém jejich interpretace

In 2018, during a rescue archaeological excavation taking place in one of the gardens of Staré Město near Uherské Hradiště, 23 early medieval graves containing skeletal remains of 26 individuals were detected. The site is situated on the northern border of the well-known Great Moravian burial ground ‘Na Valách’. In a large number of the newly excavated graves, greater or lesser deviations from the usual funeral rite were recorded. While the established burial rite in Great Moravian society means the deceased lies on their back in the supine position with extended extremities and head towards the west, here we found skeletons in very different orientations, lying in a prone or crouched position, or, at least, with unusual positions of their upper or lower limbs. Additionally, some of the graves contained incomplete or no skeletons. There is also one double burial and a triple burial, and several graves in superpositions. In nine graves, objects of material culture were found, the most important of them come from the rider’s grave 20/2018. The presented study aims to interpret the burial contexts using the bioarchaeological approach, which is, however, affected by the quality of the preserved finds, especially skeletal remains.

In the winter of 2020, a rescue archaeological excavation took place at the construction site of the Cyril and Methodius Centre of the Slovak Museum in the southern part of the well-known Middle Hillfort period burial ground ‘Na Valách’ in Staré Město. The site had been already excavated in the 1940s and 1950s. Nevertheless, several new graves were found. The purpose of this article is to present these new findings to the scientific community. Graves H 1/2020 to H 4/2020 were discovered in relatively close proximity to each other, while four other graves (H 5/2020 – H 8/2020) were located separately. These graves were all situated on the periphery of the late 1940s and Unfortunately, most of the graves were damaged during the machine excavation, which was subsequently reflected in the degree of preservation of the skeletons. In total, nine human skeletons were discovered in seven grave pits. The anthropological analysis identified three adults (one male and two females aged 40–60, 20–30, and 45–55 years) and six non-adults. Three of the immature individuals died between the ages of 15 and 17, one child was about 3 years old, and the two other children were 8–9 years old. Despite the young age (and presumably higher social status) of most of the individuals, many pathologies were found in their skeletons. The graves are dated from the second half of the 9th century to the beginning of the 10th century. Except for grave H 5/2020, all the other graves yielded rich finds (earrings, a ring, spherical buttons, knives, and ceramic fragments). The nature of the finds indicates that the graves belonged to representatives of the upper social class of early medieval Moravia in the second half of the 9th century.
