The unique round silver pendant with the motif of either an angel, an orant or a saint most probably comes from the polycultural settlement in the cadastre of Tatce, Kolín distr., in the fertile Elbe River region in central Bohemia. It was found in 2012. The pendant can be unequivocally interpreted as a Christian protective amulet. The find broadens the range of items connected to the earliest Christianity in Bohemia during the 2nd half of 9th – 11th c. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In 2008 a small scale metal detector survey was carried out at an early medieval hillfort Libětice. It resulted in the discovery of several iron artefacts among which an iron strap end for the suspension of a sword stands out. It signals the presence of members of the elite at the hillfort. The fitting imitates Carolingian models and its manufacture can probably be dated from the second half of the 9th century to the first third of the 10th century. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The evidence of coins and ornaments In this text, we present five extraordinary metal finds from the area of Netolice, the Prachatice District, dated to the period from the end of the 8th to the 10th centuries. Only two of them (a gilded belt strap end decorated with niello, and an imitative coin based on the Bavarian type) are chronologically related to the existence of the Na Jánu Hillfort as a centre; the other ones are earlier. All these finds are evidence of long-distance contacts of the area with the southeast (the late Avar type) and with the west especially (the two belt strap ends and two coins) and they were probably related to the so-called Linz Trail. The most important is the denier of Louis the Pious, minted in Paris, which extends the evidence of the circulation of Carolingian coins in Bohemia, and its close connection with Bavaria in the 9th century. The imitative issue based on the Bavarian type, dated to the period 967-976, extends this, relatively numerous, group of coins and attests the Bavarian influence in the 10th century Bohemia.

This article focuses on 14, more-or-less metal artefacts that have been obtained from the from inner bailey of the stronghold at Libice nad Cidlinou. The most important part of the group represent six metal mounts of the Late Avar Khaganat Period, one luxurious bronze Old Hungarian mount (probably woman jewellery), and two or three codex fittings dating to the 10th-14th centuries. According to the view of the author, several circle plomb artefacts could be interpreted as weights. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
