| Description | Němčice ; Results of Field Research in 2021 and the Oldest Glass Workshop in Transalpine Europe R46 Anotace anglicky The aim of this study is to evaluate the results from the very first excavation at the central agglomeration of Němčice, one of the most important centres in Central Europe in the 3rd and 2nd century BC. The excavation conducted in 2021 focussed on the space with the oldest documented secondary glass workshop in transalpine Europe. The excavation was preceded by the use of non-destructive methods, above all regular surface surveys and geophysical measurements, which led to the localisation of the assumed glass work- shop. Unusual archaeological situations investigated during the excavation provided a great number of finds of a wide range of ma- terial dated primarily to the Middle and Late La Tene period. In addition to glass, the processing of artefacts from amber and iron was also documented, which points to the presence of an area where a number of types of specialised production were operated. An important part of the analysis of the acquired material was the application of additional supplemental scientific methods and analyses with the potential to clarify how the area was used. |
