| Description | The text traces the work of American archaeologists and anthropologists at Moravian sites in Czechoslovakia between the two world wars. At the forefront of American anthropological and archaeological research in the country in this period was the Czech-born American Aleš Hrdlička, whose influence was also manifested in contacts with Karel Absolon in Brno. Participants from the American School of Prehistoric Research were also interested in Moravian Palaeolithic sites, and many original finds found their way into various collections in the USA from Moravian archaeological sites thanks to the activities of this institution. |
