Archaeologia historica

Abstract

This contribution presents nine recently located archaeological sites in the Doupov Mountains (Doupovské hory), in the territory of the active military area of Hradiště, Karlovy Vary district. They were identified by means of the archaeological interpretation of anthropomorphic elements of a digital model of the territory’s relief. All of them are the remains of settlement complexes from the period of the early medieval settlement of the elevated sections of the Doupov Mountains. In close proximity of three villages there were also the remains of fortified seats – manors. Thanks to the collaboration between the Heritage Institute in Loket and the military area administration it was possible to conduct surface collecting on five of these sites, which confirmed the mentioned observation and yielded a broad spectrum of pottery from the high and late Middle Ages. The technological variability of the pottery reflects links with the nearby historical regions Podbořansko and Loketsko, and corresponds to the transit character of the territory.
