Výsledky probíhajících projektů a nedávných archeologických výzkumů vyvolaly nutnost aktualizovat dosud publikované poznatky o raně středověkém vývoji dnešní Malé Strany, území, kde se v raném středověku pod hradem přemyslovských knížat rozkládalo opevněné suburbium. Cílem příspěvku není vyčerpávající syntéza, ale stručná rekapitulace nynějšího stavu znalostí dějinných počátků této části historického jádra Prahy. Doplňuje ji bilance pramenné základny, přehled bádání a nástin používané metodiky terénní exkavace. and Participation in ongoing projects necessitated an update of information published to date on the Early Medieval development of Malá Strana [Lesser Town], an area below the Prague Castle of Přemyslid rulers where a fortified suburbium was located. The goal of this paper is to present a concise review of the latest knowledge regarding the historical beginnings of this micro-region of the historical centre of Prague. The review is supplemented by the source base, a summary of research and applied methodology for terrain excavations.
The Hronov-Poříčí Trough represents the easternmost part of the Trutnov-Náchod Depression. The NW-SE striking structure was formed due to the post-Cretaceous flexural folding and is filled with the Upper Cretaceous sediments. Both the NE and SW margins of the trough are bounded by flexures with the Upper Cretaceous strata dipping 40-60° towards the axis of the trough. The NE flexure is situated close to the parallel Hronov-Poříčí Fault Zone. Up to now, it is not fully known, in what extent the normal faulting was involved in the evolution of the structure. From the geomorphological point of view, the normal fault constraints of the trough seem to be acceptable, as the surface topography of its present margins exhibit many signs typical for fault scarps. However, the existence of a fault system bounding all round the Hronov-Poříčí Trough has not b een proved by any geological research. Hence the geophysical research was carried out on both sides of the NW part of the trough to support one of these hypothesis. Five geoelectrical profiles were measured in the area and the fault system was proved on the NE side of the trough. On the SW boundary the fault system was not found. Thus it seems, that the NE boundary is controlled by fault tectonics, whereas the SW boundary is rather formed by a simple flexure., Jan Valenta, Vladimír Stejskal and Petra Štěpančíková., and Obsahuje bibliografické odkazy
