In 2019 a hoard of Prague groschen of John of Luxembourg (53 pcs) and Charles IV (25 pcs) was discovered south of Dolany near Pardubice. The assemblage also included fragments of 14 th-15 th century pottery (47 pcs), animal bones (3 pcs), metal (1 pc), and 15 g of slag. The hoard was deposited-probably shortly after 1350-in a high-medieval settlement which probably came to its end in the 16 th century during the construction of a large pond system.

The bucket is dated to the 9th century BC and it is a unique artefact, having no parallel in Europe. Stylistically, it is a "transition type" dated between the Late Bronze Age (11th–10th century BC) and the Hallstatt Period (8th–6th century BC). Detailed palynological analysis of verdigris and soil infill of the bucket identified a wide range of pollen grains belonging mainly to herbs, with bitter‐sour properties, and cereals. Subsequent chemical analysis, by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry, of soil extracts revealed the presence of the compound miliacin that is a chemical marker of millet. Moreover, a starch analysis reveals the presence of enzymatically modified starch grains. These data, with the help of archaeological knowledge, indicate that the original content may have been millet‐based food/beverage with addition of herbs. We suggest that this luxury vessel, given the contents we have identified, was deposited, in the late spring/summer months of the year.

Abstract This paper deals with (not only) findings of stove tiles from a small rescue archaeological research in the area of the National Stud Kladruby nad Labem realized in 2015. The paper is a little informative probe into periods that we are no longer able to physically capture in the form of standing buildings. The findings of tiles and pottery vessels in the context of research of the historical development of the stud bring interesting findings.

Several fragments dating from the early phase of the LBK were found at Kunětice (Pardubice District) during a rescue excavation in 2013. A feature containing exclusively chipped porcellanite tools was also investigated on this occasion. This new site represents an important contribution to the knowledge of the still relatively sparse settlement of the Pardubice region during the Neolithic period. It also complements the settlement network of Eastern Bohemia during the period of the early Linear Pottery culture.
