Study of the provenance of raw materials for the mortars from the Mikulčice archaeological site, Czech Republic

Original language description

Mikulčice (South Moravia region, Czech Republic) is an important archaeological site and one of the oldest fortified Slavic settlements in Central Europe. The age of this site is related to the 9th century. Of considerable importance are the preserved masonry buildings, which are also one of the oldest lime and stone masonry remains in the Czech Republic. Although the site has been studied extensively, the provenance of building materials is still not clearly understood. A number of historic mortar samples from the site were collected in order to study their composition and structural characteristics. The aim of this study was not only the characterisation of the historical mortars, but mainly the evaluation of the potential sources of raw materials. In addition to the historical mortar samples, a set of carbonate rocks was collected, characterised and evaluated. The archaeological complex referred to as the Mikulčice-Kopčany settlement agglomeration is divided into two parts. The castle (fortified core) was situated on the right bank of the Morava River in the Czech Republic. The extra mural settlement and the hinterland of the centre were situated on both banks. On the left bank, in Slovakia, close to Kopčany village, still stands the pre-Romanesque Church of St. Margaret.
