Abstract
Electric Resistivity Tomography and Magnetic Susceptibility Measurements at the Baden Culture Site Stavenice-Úsov (Czech Republic)
Highlights
Along with tree logging on the northern slope of an unnamed hill between the villages of Úsov and Stavenice (Olomouc region, Czech Republic) at an altitude of 312 m and coordinates N 49°47ʹ08.89ʺ, E 16°59ʹ31.21ʺ, a rescue excavation took place in 2012 and 2013 (Daňhel 2014; Daňhel in press)
Geophysical prospection at the Stavenice-Úsov Middle Eneolithic site has revealed a number of artificial terrain modifications, the most significant of them encountered on the northern slope of the hill
Significant terrain modifications took place on the SE slope of the same hill where three probable defensive ditches were identified by Electric resistivity tomography (ERT)
Summary
Along with tree logging on the northern slope of an unnamed hill between the villages of Úsov and Stavenice (Olomouc region, Czech Republic) at an altitude of 312 m and coordinates N 49°47ʹ08.89ʺ, E 16°59ʹ31.21ʺ, a rescue excavation took place in 2012 and 2013 (Daňhel 2014; Daňhel in press) This site is located in the southern part of the Hanušovice Highlands at the foot of the Mohelnice Furrow. A number of archaeological features (i.e. pits, structures, hearths, etc.; Binford 1964) dating from the Boleráz phase of the Baden Culture of the Middle Eneolithic (Podborský 1993) were unearthed at the site earlier (Daňhel 2014; Daňhel in press). This would date the settlement between 3325 and 3027 cal BC (Horváth et al 2008). Possibly the wooden ramparts on the northern (N) slope of the hill, finished with a stone pavement rank among
