Abstract
Příspěvek se věnuje archeologickým situacím z časně laténského sídliště v Chržíně, které poskytují doklady výjimečných výrobních aktivit i dálkových kontaktů s jižní a severní Evropou. Poznatky z tohoto rovinného sídliště jsou sledovány v širším kontextu kulturního vývoje Evropy v 6. a 5. stol. př. Kr. Z více pozoruhodných zahloubených objektů jsou publikovány dva nejvýznamnější – zahloubená chata a dílenský objekt. Datování radiokarbonovou metodou AMS doplňuje relativní chronologii; fyzikálně chemický rozbor strusek z objektů a kapek tavenin na tyglících potvrdily práce s taveninami železa a bronzu na sídlišti; analýzy četných úlomků jantaru potvrzují transport této suroviny od Baltského moře.
The paper focuses on discoveries from the early La Tène settlement in Chržín, Kladno distr., providing documentation of rare production activities and long-distance contact with southern and northern Europe. New findings from this Central Bohemian low-land settlement are examined in the broader context of the cultural development of Europe in the 6th and 5th centuries B.C. Remarkable finds are offered by several sunken features, with only the two most significant published here – a sunken hut and a workshop feature. Relative chronology is supplemented by AMS radiocarbon dating. Physical and chemical analyses – X-ray diffraction, determination of selected trace elements (FAAS), electron microanalysis (EDX) – of slag from the features, and of drops of metal on the furnaces, have confirmed that iron and bronze were worked at the settlement; analyses of numerous amber fragments have confirmed that this raw material was transported from the Baltic sea; and information on a rondel made from a child’s skull was provided by an anthropological assessment.
