Popůvky near Brno is a well known Neolithic locality. Rescue excavations carried out by the Institute of Archaeological Heritage Preservation (ÚAPP Brno) have provided new material for study. The analysis of this material has provided new information relevant to the chronology of human occupation. The site has been investigated by carrying out surface prospecting over a long period. Analyses of the recently excavated material are presented with an emphasis on the Moravian Painted Ware culture settlement (O. Lečbychová), accumulations of surface fi nds with analyses of Šárec type Linear pottery settlement (M. Kuča) and analyses of a ground stone industry from the rescue excavation and surface fi nds (M. Vokáč)., Olga Lečbychová, Martin Kuča, Milan Vokáč., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
The Moravian Painted Ware Culture settlement in Slavíkovice “Ostánce“ represents one of the most elaborately excavated sites in the peripheral area of western Moravia. The microregion is situated in the foothills of the Czech-Moravian Highlands at a relatively high altitude. More than forty MPW Culture sites have been recorded, mostly corresponding to its younger phase. The current study presents the results of recent surface surveys as well as minor detective and rescue probing. Apart from the large number of finds, a radiocarbon date has assisted in placing the site within the absolute chronology framework of the Moravian MPW Culture (Kuča et al. 2012). A detailed analysis of the archaeological findings allowed comparisons to other similarly dated sites in the area of interest and with the other peripheral regions in south-western Moravia (Bartík 2014a, 22, fig. 6). An attempt at reconstructing the paleoclimate forms an integral part of this study., Jaroslav Bartík, Milan Vokáč, Martin Kuča, Alžběta Čerevková, Lubomír Prokeš, Miriam Nývltová Fišáková., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
