On the landscape's memory and the path to it

Original language description

The following chapter introduces a publication created within the AMCR project as an output aimed at the general public. Even though there are a number of archaeological encyclopaedias and guides in the Czech Republic, the book described here - the Archaeological Atlas of Bohemia - differs from all of them in several aspects. It aims not only at introducing the reader to a set of "ready-made" information on archaeological sites, finds and research, but also at teaching people how to find archaeological remains in the landscape on their own, how to perceive them and understand the logic of their message. To fulfil these tasks, the book is equipped with a comprehensive introduction, new detailed maps, coordinates for GPS and new, professionally-processed colour photographs. The publication is also accompanied by a website (http://www.archeologickyatlas.cz) from where the maps can be downloaded, together with other information like full-text bibliography and reports. By means of QR codes the data on individual sites can be easily read by smart phones. The book summary and the English version of the website also represent the very first guide to the archaeological sites of Bohemia in English. The Atlas presents 105 archaeological sites in Bohemia. With the exception of a few places with important archaeological excavations and museums, an emphasis has been put on sites with preserved archaeological monuments visible on the surface, whether in the form of terrain relief features or the ruins of buildings. The presented selection was specifically assembled to capture the typical sites in a wide variety of forms, functions and dating. In this publication, archaeological monuments are considered in a wide time range, from Palaeolithic caves to villages abandoned after World War II.
