Abstract
Environment and Economy of the Early Medieval Settlement in Žatec
Highlights
The form and development of the Early Medieval agglomeration at Žatec have been recently outlined using a geomorphologic description of the location, agglomeration space zoning and information derived from relative and absolute pottery chronologies (Čech 2008a, 36–60)
Transport might have been accomplished by river-rafting along the Ohře River even in the Early Medieval period, written documents indicate ownership of Přívlaky village by the Doksy monastery and related river-rafting only in the 1st half of the 13th century (Žemlička 2002). The aim of this project was to study the economy of the early medieval Žatec on the basis of archaeobotanical material
The main focus was on the range of cultivated plants, especially macroremains of cereal crops in waste layers associated with consumption
Summary
The form and development of the Early Medieval agglomeration at Žatec have been recently outlined using a geomorphologic description of the location, agglomeration space zoning and information derived from relative and absolute pottery chronologies (Čech 2008a, 36–60). That study was devoted to completing an outline of the pottery chronology based on select and specific terrain situations (Čech 2008b, 91–102). As part of the project, samples of anthropogenic sediments have been taken during planned and salvage excavations since 1999. These were collected for the purpose of obtaining fossil organic material for analyses related to the economy of
