![]() Even in periods when traditional provenance questions are much more difficult to answer, we believe that even the mixing of sources tends to follow certain trends that can be traceable by available analytical methods. Through mobility of materials and/or artefacts studied by provenance analyses and mixing models we can examine socio-economic and cultural processes behind them. Our approaches involve bulk and trace compositions together with both common and unique isotopic or elemental tracers. In this paper we would like to present our project dealing with the archaeometry of coppers alloys in Central Europe between the 4th and the 1st century BC/AD. ![]() However, we believe that a large-scale sampling of copper alloys across different social and historical settings does have a great potential to give us a new and unique perspective for reviewing the traditional narration. So far, little attention has been given to the archaeometry of metals in the Iron Age on account of supposedly biased data due to recycling and mixing of sources. In the number of sites and in the orientation of long-distance contacts that were possibly associated with historical events.Ĭentral Europe in the Iron Age a highly dynamic space and time, with extended mobility, contact networks and circulation of artefacts. Settlement network which, in particular during the period contemporary with the oppidum, allows us to see the significant changes Thanks to precise dating of settlementsĪnd classification based on the new chronology, the seemingly illogical group of settlements in central Moravia revealed a distinct Possible thanks to the detailed and extensive study of the material available (Čižmář 2018). Pattern, it became evident how important it is to define, as precisely as possible, the dating of individual sites. In an attempt to chronologically assess the settlement The oppidum and, at the same time, vacation of the corridor around the Morava River. This was further accentuated in LT D1 by the shift of settlements towards the west, to the vicinity of During the LT C2, in addition to the location of the central place, changes took place in terms of material culture and settlement Němčice, being located at one of the mainīranches of the Amber Road, connected the Middle Danube area from the Mediterranean to the Adriatic Staré Hradisko eventuallyĮxpanded these contacts into a systematic trade network, being under the strong influence of the Bohemian region with links toīavaria. Materials, orientation of the socio-economic contacts, and possibly political focus as well. Each of this centres had its own approach to raw At a certain point in time, there were two central places in central Moravia: an older unfortified central agglomeration near the present-ĭay village of Němčice nad Hanou and a younger oppidum at Staré Hradisko.
