Production, distribution, consumption and prestige. The lifestyle and food supply of the elites in Mikulčice during the 9th-century AD

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The study summarizes the current state of archaeological knowledge concerning the question of the subsistence of the 9th century power centre in Mikulčice. It evaluates three main areas related to the sustenance of the inhabitants of the agglomeration: agricultural production (1), distribution of raw materials/foodstuffs including their storage (2) and consumption (3). Taking into account the ecological conditions of the early medieval centre, especially its location in the Morava River floodplain, three main subsistence models for Great Moravian Mikulčice have been defined so far. The author is inclined towards “model 3” as the most probable theory and the basis for further understanding of the issue. This model assumes the agricultural cultivation of the river floodplain in the immediate vicinity of the centre, and at the same time assumes economic support directed from the area outside of the floodplain (i.e. the “traditional” economic hinterland within a radius of 3-10 km from the fortified centre). A characteristic part of the lifestyle of the Mikulčice elites was a diet enriched with “luxury” species such as fruits, nuts, vegetables, as well as wine. Paradoxically, this archaeobotanical evidence tell more about the high level of nutrition and dining of the Moravian nobility than the relatively rare archaeological evidence of tableware.
