Sažetak
An exceptionally large Prague-type culture (6th-7th centuries AD) site in Roztoky, Czech Republic, provided a rich assemblage of dwellings from the given period. Over 300 sunken houses were (in part or entirely) excavated. Although the soil conditions at the site did not permit the preservation of wooden structures, the evidence on other aspects of house construction, e.g. stone ovens and patterns of post holes in the house interior, is abundant. Recent excavations (2006-2010) also produced an enormous amount of ecofacts and soil samples that are currently being processed. With the use of them, geoarchaeological research makes it possible to model the way the houses were used, abandoned and destroyed, information that impacts our understanding of settlement behaviour at the site.
