The contribution deals with the archaeological efforts of Bedřich Dubský during his career as a teacher in Paračov (Strakonice District) in 1912-1919. In 1913, he carried out excavations at the location of "U Luhu", where he unearthed at least nine sunken-floored features, most probably dating from the Late Hillfort period. The presented paper tries to locate the site on the basis of published and archival sources and a storage vessel is described in detail which is currently placed in the newly installed exhibition of the Municipal museum in Volyně.

A new trace of early medieval occupation from the cadastral area of Litochovice, Strakonice District. The article presents a partial result of a rescue excavation conducted in the village of Litochovice, Strakonice District, during the laying of a sewer system in 2019. An archaeological situation was observed in trenches near house no. 35 which yielded an assemblage of early medieval pottery. Macroremains analysis of samples of surrounding soil was also undertaken. This discovery complements the knowledge about medieval occupation of the Volyně region. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The contribution describes the beginnings of archaeological research in the Volyně region. Based on literature, archival sources and field survey, an attempt has been made to locate the site of "Na Hájku" near Milíkovice, from which B. Dubský recovered early medieval finds in 1911. Thanks to period documentation, it was possible to re-identify some of the finds in the heavily mixed up archaeological collections of the Municipal Museum in Volyně and to process them.
