Hosty
An Early Bronze Age Settlement in South Bohemia
Part 1 – Field Documentation (Památky archeologické – Supplementum 24)
The book represents the first volume of a planned multi-volume monograph devoted to the site of Hosty, one of the most significant Early Bronze Age settlements in Central Europe. The site was first investigated in 1968 and subsequently, between 1981 and 1988, subjected to systematic archaeological excavation. In addition to its remarkable landscape setting, the site’s significance lies in the preservation of cultural layers containing abundant evidence of a wide range of activities that took place at the site. Ground plans of above-ground houses have also been identified. This volume summarizes the history of research and, above all, presents a unified and standardized documentation of all archaeological excavations and recorded contexts. At the same time, it provides metadata for an online accessible geodatabase of the published data (its implementation is currently in progress).

Kolín
An Early Bronze Age Cemetery in Central Bohemia
(Památky archeologické – Supplementum 23)
The monograph presents a burial site from the Early Bronze Age discovered during a rescue archaeological excavation preceding the construction of the Kolín bypass road. A total of 72 graves were documented at the burial site, arranged in two groups located in close proximity to each other, along with three settlement features. The graves and features contained the remains of 81 individuals. The evaluation of the archaeological contexts and findings involved the collaboration of 25 archaeologists and natural scientists, who processed the burial site using the most advanced methods.

Tursko
An Early Bronze Age Hoard from Central Bohemia
(Památky archeologické – Supplementum 22)
The book presents a detailed multidisciplinary analysis of one of the largest and most important European Early Bronze Age hoards of bronze and gold artefacts. Together with neckrings, solid penannular bracelets, arm spirals, cuff-shaped bracelets and spiral rolls the hoard contains also less common artefacts as ring-headed pin with ring-chain, halberd blade or collection of decorated sheet-bronzes (applique, discs and oar-headed pins). Absolutely unique are three solid-hilted daggers in scabbards. Gold ornaments are represented by four noppenrings and one spiral ring. The hoard was found in 2015 in Tursko near Prague and is deposited in the Central Bohemian Museum in Roztoky.

Mikulovice
Early Bronze Age Cemetery on the Amber Road
(Památky archeologické – Supplementum 21)
This monograph, written by a team of 31 authors from four countries, is the final publication of comprehensive multidisciplinary research of a rich skeletal cemetery of the Únětice culture of the Early Bronze Age in Mikulovice near Pardubice. No similarly rich contemporary burial ground in Europe has been analysed and published in such a comprehensive manner to date. The Mikulovice burial ground is exceptional for the large number of so-called ‘exotics’, i.e. objects, materials, or technologies of demonstrably foreign origin. Particularly impressive is the number of amber objects (almost 900 from a total of 27 graves), including an amber necklace composed of at least 420 amber beads and dividers from female grave no. 2, making it the richest grave in amber in contemporary Europe. Thanks to its exceptional location, the life of the local community is linked to an important long-distance communication route, one of the branches of the so-called Amber Road. A number of analyses focus not only on field documentation and individual types of finds, but also on large-scale analyses of skeletal remains (anthropology, paleopathology, epigenetics, Sr, O, C, N isotopes). The publication does not include a comprehensive analysis of aDNA of the entire burial ground, which will be published elsewhere.
