2019
Abstract
Research of burgher houses in the Old Town of Prague presents a very complex theme requiring a cooperation of a wide range of scientific disciplines such as history, archaeology, history of architecture etc. Rescue archaeological excavation of the plot No. 690 in Rybná Street in 1992 revealed extensive assemblage of medieval contexts and artefacts, which illustrate the transformation of the early medieval Prague settlement agglomeration of the 12th century into the legally constituted city of High Middle Ages.
New detailed analyses of the archaeological contexts and of the burgher buildings from around 1300 and their material culture provide an insight into the transformation of the settlement in the peripheral city district.
