Prehistoric and Early Medieval hillforts in Bohemia

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The Bohemian basin (52,778 km²) is separated from other parts of Europe by high mountains. Therefore this area is a very good start for cross-cultural hillfort research. Within the project ‘Celtic oppida among other hillforts – an intercultural comparison’ the location of 450 Bohemian hillforts from Eneolithic up to Early Medieval times (4300 BC – AD 1150) is registered in a Geographic Information System (GIS), together with relevant information about each hillfort like name, position, area, archaeological research, dating on several levels, frequency of occupation in various periods, and position within the general framework of soil types, precipitation, temperature and climatic zones, etc. All these results are published in an ‘Atlas of Prehistoric and Early Medieval Hillforts in Bohemia’. We have to deal with the fact that it is not possible to define reliable occupation times for every hillfort without further research and that it is uncertain how many of them have vanished through the times, mainly in regions with intensive landuse. Nevertheless diverse distribution patterns of Bohemian hillforts could be visualised in a GIS together with different topographic and thematic maps. They show remarkable similarities or differences during the various periods, which emphasises the potential for further analysis. Sometimes the amount of hillforts decreases remarkably and afterwards the intensity of hillforts raises significantly. Within a period of 5,400 years there are 1,600 years with no registered hillforts: in the Late Eneolithic (2800–2200 BC) as well as the Middle La Tène period (400–150 BC), and from the Roman Iron Age up to the beginning of the Early Medieval Age (50 BC – AD 700). It is remarkable that similar distribution patterns can be observed for Late Hallstatt and Early Medieval times 1,500 years later. We can probably assume that – if form follows function – the infrastuctural use of hillfort sites was very similar or even the same in Late Hallstatt and Early Medieval times.
