Hoards of axes are especially frequent in Central Germany in the area between Halle, Salle and Dieskau. From this area come the most impressive assemblages of axe hoards. In Bohemia, Czech Republic, a more distant area from Central Germany, the hoards are less frequent and less rich. Until recently the largest hoards came from Northwest Bohemia, which was explained by its geographical closeness to Germany. However, this changed due to a find in Kukleny in Eastern Bohemia of 57 axes; it is the largest axe hoard in Bohemia so far. In total, 65 bronze axes were analysed in hoards found in Kukleny and Kunčice, a smaller hoard found only several kilometres from Kukleny. Our multimethod analysis, based on electron and reflected-light microscopy, identified surprising data related to the axes’ chemical composition, including strong evidence of silver and gold coatings, and we analysed the use-wear of the majority of the found axes.

Schimerové dohledový a posléze záchranný archeologický výzkum v místě výkopu pro bazén u rodinného domu v Praze 6 – Lysolajích. Cílem výzkumu bylo zachránit a dokumentovat ohrožené archeologické situace, jež byly stavebníkem již částečně narušeny. Během výzkumu bylo prozkoumáno a zdokumentováno celkem dvacet zahloubených sídlištních objektů a jeden žárový hrob, který je předmětem tohoto příspěvku.

The research is complemented by an extensive collection of find from detector research, which considering its size (several thousand artefacts) will be a valuable source of information not only on the modern military event in the Hradec Králové district. Other than the complex research of the lunette, the capture of the rectangular sunken objects is essential, which are concentrated in arranged groups, and reflect the course of the line of the field fortification. They are chiefly rectangular buildings with stake holes in the corners. A total of 29 of them were identified at the beginning of November 2017 on the segments D1107 04 and D1107 05. Further objects of this type were captured also on other segments of the highway being built. We believe that these objects could be the relict of camps, in which soldiers were placed, deployed in this part of the defensive line. The distribution of the main camp of the Austrian army between Kuks (ca 3.5 km from the locality) and Jaroměř (ca 2.7 km from the locality) and therefore the presence of camps in this area (as well as some of their relicts) is one of the bases for our supposition. Another captured group are the rectangular to square (in one case circular) objects with a burnt central part. Six of these have been identified in the terrain at the time mentioned above. In the context of the described objects and after consultation with colleagues, we now interpret them as the relict of field kitchens. We know these facilities also from period depictions.
