In den Jahren 2012-2013 fand bei Rovná die Ausgrabung eines gestörten, bis dahin archäologisch noch nicht dokumentierten Großgrabhügels von 25 m Durchmesser der Späthallstattzeit statt. Die mit Holz ausgekleidete Grabkammer auf Bodenniveau hatte einen quadratischen Grundriss von 6,2 m × 6,1 m. Das Grab 1 von Rovná enthielt fünf Bronzegefäße; es handelt sich dabei um eine der reichsten Ausstattungen mit außergewöhnlichen Metallgefäßen in Böhmen. Sie zeigt enge Verbindungen zum Westhallstattkreis in Baden-Württemberg an, einige der Gefäße stammen sogar aus Italien. Die Perlrandbecken der Variante Hundersingen werden der zweiten Hälfte des 6. und der ersten Hälfte des 5. Jahrhunderts v. Chr. zugeordnet, was zur Zeitstellung der weiteren Beigaben aus Hügel 1 von Rovná passt, da die beiden darin aufgefundenen Fußzierfibeln nach Ha D3 datieren. Das Grab von Rovná zählt zu den ältesten Bestattungen mit zweirädrigem Wagen aus dem Ende der Stufe Ha D in Böhmen., Archäologisches Korrespondenzblatt, Bd. 45 Nr. 1 (2015): Archäologisches Korrespondenzblatt

The paper provides an overview of the first Bronze Age finds discovered in recent years in the peripheral area near the upper course of the River Malše, at the border between today’s regions of southern Bohemia and Upper Austria. Several isolated finds of metal items and two hoards from the southern Bohemian part of the upper Malše basin indicate the use of this area, seemingly uninhabited in the Bronze Age, as a possible communication corridor connecting the two above mentioned regions. For the first time, a hoard of bronze artefacts from the Late Bronze Age from Tichá is published in this paper, which significantly contributes to the knowledge and possible interpretation of prehistoric human activities in this region.

In diesem Beitrag werden bislang unpublizierte Funde vorgestellt, die zu unserer Kenntnis des Ost-West-Kulturaustausches während der Stufe Latène A beitragen. Im Jahr 2015 fanden Sondengänger ein Depot mit vier Metallobjekten auf einem bewaldeten Hang in Südböhmen, nahe dem Dorf Hosty (okr. České Budějovice). Eine erste Untersuchung zeigt, dass es sich wohl um Zierelemente aus Bronze und Eisen für Pferdegeschirr oder Wagen handelt. Stilistisch lassen sich diese Artefakte eher mit dem westlichen als dem östlichen Latène A-Gebiet verbinden; sie zeigen eine ganze Reihe unterschiedlicher feiner Metallbearbeitungstechniken. Am Schluss dieses Beitrags wird der Fund von Hosty in den Kontext weiterer frühlatènezeitlicher Feinschmiedearbeiten aus der Region gestellt., Germania : Anzeiger der Römisch-Germanischen Kommission des Deutschen Archäologischen Instituts, Bd. 97 2019(2020)

Příspěvek informuje o nových ojedinělých nálezech kovových předmětů uskutečněných v jižních Čechách v letech 2017-2020. Kromě celkového přehledu, chronologického a typologického vyhodnocení, byla na jednom z kopí provedena i traseologická analýza. In the article, new isolated Bronze Age metal fi nds are published which have been documented in the territory of South Bohemia over the last about fi ve years and which have not been published anywhere else. These are 137 bronze or copper artefacts from 128 sites which are dateable to all chronological phases of the Bronze Age. Some of them are quite unique in South Bohemia, with analogies in other Central European regions. Several artefacts were subjected to spectral analysis in order to determine their chemical composition. A spearhead from Horažďovice was also subjected to traceological analysis. In addition to an enrichment of the typological spectrum of artefacts, these discoveries in some cases also proved human activities in regions regarded as uninhabited or only sporadically utilized. Thus the presented article clearly shows the importance and signifi cance of documentation and rescue of these unique fi nds. Their interpretive value is lower than that of those made in settlement, funerary or hoard contexts, but they are defi nitely not without importance for our knowledge of prehistoric settlement and human activities in the region.

V příspěvku přinášíme shrnutí aktuálního stavu poznání památek tzv. zemědělského pravěku (období od neolitu po dobu římskou) z mikroregionu povodí Židovy strouhy. Podrobněji se zaměříme na lokality z doby bronzové – z epochy, na níž byl zaměřen grantový projekt GAČR. In this article we present a summary of the current state of knowledge of the so-called agricultural monuments prehistory (the period from the Neolithic to the Roman period) from the microregion of the Jewish gorge basin. In more detail we will focus on localities from the Bronze Age - from the era on which the GACR grant project was focused.

Cet article résume la situation de la Bohème au cours du Bronze final et de la période des champs d’urnes. Dès cette époque, la Bohème peut être divisée en quatre régions culturelles (fig. 1). A/ En Bohème orientale, la culture silésienne de Platĕnice montre un développement continu du Ha b jusqu’au LTA. B/ Dans une petite partie de la Bohême centrale et nord-orientale, nous remarquons un développement continu de la culture de Billendorf pendant le Ha B et Ha C. Mais dans le reste de cette région le Ha B est caractérisé par la culture de Štítary et le Ha C par celle de Bylany. La continuité entre ces deux entités n ’est pas prouvée, mais il existe de nombreuses observations qui parlent pour une évolution continue (fig. 2, 4). C/ En Bohème occidentale, la continuité entre la culture Nynice du Ha B et la culture des tumuli hallstattiens (Ha C-D) ne fait pas de doute (fig. 3). D/ Au sud de la Bohème, il y a peu de traces d’habitats de la culture Štítary correspondant à la période des champs d’urnes, mais il existe de plus nombreuses découvertes datant du début de l’âge du Fer (Ha C). La continuité ne peut être que supposée dans cette région. The article offers a basic overview of the Late Bronze Age and the beginning oft the Urnfield Period in Bohemia. From the Urnfield Period onwards Bohemia can be divided into four cultural regions (fig. 1): A/ In East Bohemia the Silesian-Platenice culture shows a continual development from Ha B to LTA. B/ In a small part of Central and Northwest Bohemia you can recognise evidence of the Billendorf Culture which developed itself continually during the Ha B and Ha C period. But in the major part of this region HA B ist characterized by the Štítary-Culture and Ha C by the Bylany Culture. Continuity between these two cultures has not been proven, but many observations allow to put forth the hypothesis of a continuous development (fig. 2, 4). C/ In West Bohemia, there is continual development between the Nynice Culture of the Ha B periodand the Hallstatt tumulus Culture dating of Ha C-D (fig. 3). D/ In South Bohemia, there are very little settlements of the Štítary Culture which belongs to the Late Urnfield Period. More finds have been made that date into the Early Iron Age (Ha C). The continuity of development can only be suggested here.

Les actes du XXXe colloque de l’Association Française pour l’Étude de l’Âge du Fer (A.F.E.A.F.) - Saint-Romain-en-Gal, 2006 - rassemblent en un seul volume les 16 communications du thème régional et les 28 du thème spécialisé, co-organisé avec l’Association pour la Promotion des Recherches sur l’âge du Bronze (A.P.R.A.B.). La question du territoire est la trame de fond de la partie régionale, suscitée par le dynamisme et les résultats de l’archéologie à Lyon et dans la région (du Mâconnais à la Loire et aux Alpes). Cette question est abordée par l’examen des sources écrites, d’utiles synthèses et la présentation de sites remarquables, en contexte d’habitat ou funéraire. L’enjeu du thème spécialisé était s’éclaircir la difficile question du passage de l’âge du Bronze à l’âge du Fer. Comment cerner les signes du changement, l’expliquer, en saisir le moment ? La plupart des auteurs ont choisi une fourchette chronologique large et se sont placés dans l’optique d’une évolution d’ordre endogène. Le critère du métal n’apparaît pas comme le plus pertinent. La fragmentation des faciès céramiques, la rupture de l’unité culturelle prévalant entre le XIIe et le VIIe siècles, des comportements nouveaux constatés dans les habitats et les pratiques funéraires : la situation est contrastée dans une Europe étudiée ici avec des exemples allant de l’Espagne à l’Italie, de la Grande-Bretagne à la Bohême. So dynamic was archaeology in Lyon and its surrounding region (Macon, the Loire Country and the Alps), that focus was kept on regional topics and that the question of «territory» was kept as the main line of research. The question has been tackled from many angles: written sources, enlightening summaries and synthetized works, presentation of quite remarkable sites, whether settlement sites or burial sites. The whole point was to shed light on the transitional phase between the Bronze Age and the Iron Age. What are the signs of a change, how to explain them, how to pinpoint them? Most scientists have led their research on a fairly large time span, always in the perspective of an endogenous evolution. The metal criterion do not come up as the most relevant factor anymore. Differenciation in pottery groups and disruption in the cultural cohesion prevail between the XIIthand the VIIth centuries. New practices arise in settlement patterns as well as funeral rites: the situation in Europe here under study, is richly contrasted and documented with case studies coming from a zone spreading from Spain to Italy, from Great Britain to Bohemia. The records of the 30th «A.F.E.A.F., Association Française pour l’Étude de l’Âge du Fer» ’symposium - Saint-Romain en Gal, 2006 - gather in one single volume the 16 papers on regional issues, as well as 28 papers on more specific issues, organized in collaboration with the Association pour la Promotion des Recherches sur l’âge du Bronze (A.P.R.A.B.).

Základem předloženého příspěvku je kritická revize všech jihočeských mohylových hrobů starší a střední doby bronzové. Do následné analýzy jsme zahrnuli pouze prokázané pohřby z obou uvedených epoch – soubory artefaktů bez jisté vazby na prokázané pohřby jsme vyloučili, stejně jako nálezy bez jasných nálezových okolností. Neznamená to, že zde nereflektované nálezy nemusejí pocházet z pohřebních komponent sledovaných epoch, do skupiny jistých mohylových hrobů jsme je však v našem příspěvku nezapočítali. In this paper, a novel miniaturized microstrip Wilkinson power divider (WPD) using squared resonators and open-ended stubs is designed, fabricated, and measured. The proposed divider is designed at 1.9 GHz, which suppresses 2nd, 3rd, and 4th harmonics with high attenuation levels. Moreover, the size of the proposed divider is only 0.1 λg × 0.07 λg, which reduces the circuit size by more than 55%, compared to the conventional Wilkinson divider. In the design process, the neural network model and LC-equivalent circuit model are used to predict the transmission zeros of the circuit. These transmission zeros are used to provide the suppression at the desired harmonics. Also, the main circuit elements could be predicted with the neural network model, which results in a performance improvement of the proposed divider. The results show that the proposed model can predict the frequency response of the designed WPD, accurately.

The paper presents a summary on specific settlement features that have been often documented, particularly in recent decades, in Late or Final Bronze Age flatland settlements in southern and western Bohemia and southern Germany. They are trenchlike features with a uniform north-south orientation, often filled with numerous artefacts as well as archaeobotanical material, with traces of burning. The largest number has been documented in the southern Bohemian settlement of Březnice u Bechyně (okr. Tábor / CZ). The interpretation of these spatially and chronologically limited features is not certain and in the present literature it has mostly occurred in profane (foundations for weaving looms, features associated with the production of ceramics, preparing food, etc.) or sacral (cult pits, burnt offerings, ritual waste, etc.) interpretations. In the presented paper we argue that most of the above interpretative options can be combined in a single model of past reality, however, provided the primary functions and ways of actual use are distinguished.
