(in English): The issue is focused on the survey and dig on the mining settlement Kremsiger in Ore Mountain. We discovered well planed and perhaps measured urbanism of the site. Our excavation took luckily place on the house with traces of ore assaing activity. In the issue we discuss the possibility of ore smelting directly on the mining settlements. We found out, that this activity is not exceptional, although there is no evident reason for avoiding the smelting in central smelting places. Second, the excavation brought the biggest assemblage of high mediaeval ceramic. Its analysis pointed out, that the settlement lived through two different ceramic horizonts, and due to this fact was not extremely short-living place as could be expected by mining settlement generally. Despite some exclusive finds as hollow glas, or the urbanism, we neglect the possibility of township of the site. There is no evidence for growth of mining settlement in such vicinity as by Kremsiger and the mediaeval Town Přísečnice.
