| Description | In April 2016, employees of the Institute for Archaeological Heritage (ÚAPP Brno, v.v.i.) carried out rescue survey at the site of planned residential development in the borough of Maloměřice, at the site locally known as "Ustavu". Ther site affected by the construction development is located between Obřanská and Olší (streets) and constitutes the foreland for the well-known archaeological site known as "Holý kopec" which is the object of scientific attention since 1920´s; large-scale excavations took place in the area in 1941 in relation to the construction of a shunting yard.On of the trenches reveald a feature containing evidence of the orocession of chert from Stránská skála in Brno-Slatina.The pottery found enabled a more detailed cultural niveau, i.e. the final stage of the Early Chalcolithic. In addition to relatively limited quantities of Lengyel (Epilengyel) pottery the finds included beaker-shaped and pot-shaped vessels of archaic forms with analogies attributed to Early Eneolithic beaker cultures in Central Europe (Michelsberg and Schussenried), but together with pottery withstriated incision. From the perspective of relative chronology, this constitutes a yet unclassified period between the end of Jordanow culture in Moravia and the Funnel Beaker culture at the level of the Late Jordanow Culture in the neighbouring Bohemia, which manifested itself via jugs of the Schussenried type. The specific form of striated decoration and the motifs used, pluse those on less conventional vessels (bowls) suggest their very old age. |
