The Early Medieval Settlement, Mass Grave and Burial Grounds at Budeč (Na Týnici Site) : Archeological and "Event History" Perspective

Abstract

The study offers a comprehensive evaluation and interpretation of the systematic archeological research at the Na Týnici site in close proximity to the Budeč fortified settlement, one of the main strongholds of the early Přemyslid dynasty. Systematically studied between 1983-1986, the site is interesting above all due to the discovery of a mass grave holding 33-60 individuals, dated to the 10th century.
