SETTLEMENT OF A M ICRO- REGION WITH LARGE-SCALE SOIL TRANSFERS Jaro mir Benes

The Lomsky-potok (i.e. Lom creek) research took shape in the 70 s i.n line with what was then the new scientific orientation of the Most branch office of the Archeological Institute (Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences) towards the excavation of target regions w hich could as models of prehistoric and medieval cultural landscapes (Velimsky : 986 with references). The possibilities for mounting a detailed investigation of this region were discussed in a paper (Benes and Koutecky 1987) which set 0 t all of th e basic data of which only the key facts are summarized here. The study area lies in NW Bohemia in 2 region devastated by the open cast mining of lignite. It is about 30 km 2in area, and its axis is formed by the elongated valley of the Lomsky-pot ok, the source of which is situated to the west in the border mountains and which flowed into the Bilina river before the devastation of the area. The project includes, as a control sample, the S half of the drainage area of the LoucenskY-potok. This territory, characterized by lowlands, belongs to the so-called traditional settlement area. So far, around one half of the area under consideration - that is, some 15 krn 2 - has been mined away or similarly devastated. This renders inevitable the use of the hydro-geomorphological reconstruction map (Benes and Koutecky 1987, PIs. 2 and 3) drawn by J. Brezak and J. Klapste especially from to 18th- and 19th-century maps. This is the only means to overcome the formidable obstacles brought about by industrial transformations of the landscape, in particular by the 0pen cast mining of lignite. Archeological information on this area been, - and still is being gathered from an extraordinary variety of sources. First of all, there is a strong tradition of archeological activity amongst the local which thrived f3rt icularly in the first ha lf of this century , although unfortunately , this tradition has been interrupted . Several important tina "g.oups have been secured ir the course of this work. Though some of these have a measure of inportance for 50;ne periods extending l"Jyond the borders of the project area their num bers are rather small. H owever , the i!!'portance of pre-vlar finds grows considerably in present times , especially in viaw'f the gtial representativeness w hich is enhanced by the application of some analytical l!lthods. l<ii +.:11 so:x; exceptions, the post-war pe!.'iod includes the excavations of the Archeological Institute (Cz8choslovak Academy of Sciences ), the initial stages of which; of course, were been conducted before the inception of the Lomsky-potok project. originally, field activities took the form of minor rescue exca\'ati uns ;Heh , in the course of the .1970 s, developed as a result of the dramdtic increase in open cast lignite mining into the present large scale operations. From the archeological viellrpoint, this enabled the identific,'ltion of sites w hich could be fully recorded. In addition to . this , recent excavations eff icient technologies such as the use of mechanical excavators which make poss'ble the large-scale recording of post structures (as at the sites of Hrdlovka, Libkovice , JeniSuv-Ujezd . II!? call the area delimited by the line 1 on Maps A-D a (Benes 1989b) and define it as the GUru tctal of all of the areas of archeological interest in ti:e part of the Lomsky-potok drainage area both in the pre- and in the post-w ar periods. The stabilization and increase in the quality of the evidence recorded from a::cheological sites in tne course of the 19&0 s (Blazek 1989) has enabled us to make a preliminary evaluation of sp.3.tial structures which identify traces of certain patterns w hich rwy become the foci of academic interest . These include phenomena which are both discrete from a spatiotemporal point of view (such as the situat ion of Neolithic settlement areas in the landscape and their interrelationships, or demographic aspects of groups belonging to the Unetice- or La Tene cultures), and continuous (as in t.he of continuityal1lO ng particular archeological phenomena in the sense \Jf m utuctl relations of the type archeologization - ident ifiabili ty - continuity or discont inuity of the settled area .. Benes 1989b) . Processes of archeological formation (Krist:ansen 1985 ), important in studies of such phenomena as the measure of archeologization, the dependence of the of feature types ocDlring on how well they may be recorded in large-scale excavabon:; and- last but not least - phenow ena termed by Schiffer (1978 ) A-S processes (from archeological context to systemic context ), are all of an signifi ance for the understanding of inverse transformations (Neustupny 1986b; on the latter aspect cf.Klapste).

The basic unit of information recorded on the maps is the presence of a trace of a given archeological culture within a given square of side 125 metres.

Some special terms in use here should now' be discussed: they are introduced following an original suggestion by E. Neustupny, commented on and developed by M . Kuna, M . Slabina, I. Pavlu and other specialists in the course of a seminar held at Most in 1987. Findspot : any point area in the field w here archeological information has been recorded; location of an archeological action. site : an analyt ical term denoting a discrete spatiotemporal unit delimited by one single so-called archeological culture (such as Ifan Unetice-culture cemeteryll, lIa Romanperiod settlementll, etc.). In this paper, findspots situated more than 250 metres apart are assigned to IIdifferent 'l sites (Benes 1989b). Com ponent : a term of archeological synthesis denoting a more limited spatiotemporal unit, usually accompainied by a definition of function determination (such as lIa hut cluster of La Tene C culture If ). Area (production , cult, cemetery , settlement areas - cf. Neustupny 1986a): this term belongs to the realms of archeological interpretations and may be used only in the description of conclusions and results of archeological invest igations, when w e are discussing living cultures of the past. Let us now review the numerical data on the numbers of sites in the total-excavation polygon (TEP) and in the complete project area (CPA ). W e make use of a simple coefficient dx' which is calculated from to an equation for all the eleven archeological periods (i = 1, ... ,11): dx = Z; R( A) x / 2: R (A) i . R (A) represents a square of 125x125 metres on the map in which an archeological culture has been identified . While R( A)P,where P is a sum of all squares of equal size on the project map, may they contain the archeological feature A (the frequency of the A features may be chosen at random). The coefficient has a range of values from0 to 1 and serves as a measure of the extent of the given archeological culture in relation to the total extent of all of the archeological cultures observed in the project. We are working on the level of sites, on an abstraction level which does not divide up individual phenomena dynamically. In general, the coeffi cient can serve as a scale of IIdocumentabilityll, and, consequently, of lithe chance of discovery II of specific archeological periods. C ulture (C PA, TEP, d ): Neolithic (II, 7, 0.40), Aeneolithic (4, 4, 0.02), Corded ware (14, 9, 0.11), Bell Beakers (II , 8, 0.07t, Unetice culture (9, 8, 0.11),Tumulus culture (3, 2, 0.02), Knoviz culture (13, 9, 0.26), Hallstatt period (10, 8, 0.08), La Tene (19, 9, 0.28), II Roman I age (ll, 9, 0.08), Middle Ages (13, 9, 0.18) . Identification of cultures is preliminary but the mutual relations are hardly likely to undergo substantial transformations in the future. Let us try to explain some aspects of certain periods. For the purpose of this article, four stages of the prehistoric development, Neolithic, Early and Late Bronze Age and La Tene, have been selected and their characteristics will now be sketched. The N eolithic (Linear- and Stroked-pottery cultures): Six to eight Neolithic sites are known, so far in the immediate vicinity of the main watercourses. They do not occur on tributaries and minor watercourses. Map A shows immediately that the individual sites are situated some 1250-2500 mapart along the stream, w hile t heir distances from sites lying on the adjacent creek is determined geomorphologically. Neolithic sites cower considerable areas - c. 15 hectares (the lower limit of the median value is always indicated because the area or extent of the sites is expressed by form al digitalization). Only settlement features are present (post-holes, extraction pits, silos, etc.). Model sites have yielded several hundred datable features (Map A letters H, L) and I assume by analogy similar numbers will occur on other sites also. T he testing of two hypotheses will be of key importance for further investigations of the Neolithic along the Lomsky-potok may be advanced: 1 - on individual sites, development of the components would be recorded only for certain chronological phases (on dating methods cf. Pavlu-Rulf-Zapotocka 1986). In such cases, mobility within t he ancient settlement area (cf. the term IImacro-sitell as used by Z. Smrz 1989) must be assumed. 2 - a complete sequence of the Linear- and Stroked-pottery culture would be recorded on a model site; in practice, this means that no major phase of the Linear- and Stroked-pottery cultures would be missing fromthe site . Every site would thus imply a permanent occupation (one or two farmsteads?) within the area of the site which continues develop throughout the whole of the long Neolithic period. It may also be possible to combine of both models. Neolithic sites are easy to delimit, have a considerable measure of identifiable archeologization and a high value for dx' Excavations of the model sites of Hrdlovka (cf. my article in this volume; Map A let ter H) and of Libkovice (excavation directed by M. Dobes; Map A letter L) have been carried out in recent years. If we assume that the degree to which of the chronological phases recorded is representative, in the case of the N eolithic of Bohemia, a function of the spatial extent of the archeological action, we may attempt a m athematical simulat ion, based on plans of Hrdlovka and Libkovice model sites, of fragmentary

Drawn by J. Brezak and H. Jonasova. small-scale archeological actions in ,an effort to determine the information value of incomplete archeological excavations on non-model Neolithic sites. Early Bronze Age. In 1986, a closed group of Early Bronze Age graves was unearthed at Jenisuv-Ujezd (1990). This consisted of 9-10 graves containing the remains of 13 individuals. The two southernmost graves belonged to the Bell Beaker culture, the majority to the Unetice culture. The investigation raised a host of questions. Some of these have been tackled in papers cited below, but the whole set of problems will be

Unetice-culture graves in our area, at the site of "H ugel" by B rezanky (M ap B letter Bk). It is known that this group of eleven interments in nine graves was also been fairly closed and a high degree of numerical comparability with the Jenisuv-Ujezd cemetery seems probable. Arecent excavation by P. M eduna of another group of graves at L ibkovice (Map B letter L) an area of some 4 hectares confirmed the small number of graves (5) and their distribution in groups . It seems that the limited numbers og graves within individual groups are not random. Ahypothesis aimed at a statistically representative analysis of anthropological sex determinations fromavailable sources of informations in Bohemia and Moravia has been formulated as follows: a) not all the deceased of a given local populat ion were buried in conventional inhumation graves (non-cremated bodies lying on their sides with a N-S orientation); b) - even in the case of the inhumations , social differentiation defining the status of the deceased seems to be apparent (Benes 1988, 1990). Going back to oqr grave groups on the Lomsky-potok, there remains the question of what kind of a demographic image is represented by every archeological point observed. It seems that these were small population groups persisting on the limit necessary for survival from the viewpoint of. endo- and exogamity. sixteen findspots obviously representing nine sites have been recorded so far in the project area. In the archeological sense, every site is represented by traces of a settlement and a burial site situated at intervals not greater than 200-500 metres . The sites make up a distinct cluster in the area of the lower course of the LomskY-potok. The individual sites in this cluster (a macro-site?) are some 1000-1500 metres apart . Awatercourse is always nearby, and the distance from it rarely exceeds 200 metres. Unfortunately, no more than the recording of indications of both settlement and cemetery sites could be achieved the excavations conducted on tlie lower course (With the exception of the "Hugel" at Brezanky). However, the logical structure of the recorded image, the so-called meaningful network of archeological entities (Benes 1989b ), seems to guarantee that the information on the spatial situation of Unetice-culture monuments is objective. sites on w hich Unetice-culture settlements (or rather their traces) have turned up are extremely impoverished in terms both of the number of features and the number of datable finds. In the best cases, these are represented by a few pits . Another site cluster m ay be noted som e 2500 metres upstream on the LomskY-potok. The area between the sett led zones on the lower and upper courses was obviously empty (no trace of the Unetice-culture has been uncovered among a large number of archeological sites). Another "independent" site lies at Libkovice (settlement and cemetery, M ap B letter L, cf. supra ), some 1500 metres W of the most representative grave group at Jenisuv-Ujezd Map B letter J) . It is not clear so far .if there was another site cluster in the area of the middle and upper courses as the between Libkovice and Jenisuv-Ujezd has not yet been investigated . ronze Age in the Lomsky-potok area include study of the question of the Investigations of the Early B origins of the Early Bronze period (Benes 1989b). A spatial continuity of the cemetery sites among Corded-ware , B el l Beaker and unetice cultures has been observed. Late and Final Bronze A ge. This period has already been commented on in the context of the whole project (Benes and K outecky 1987) , but has also been discussed in detail in the case of a unique complex of post structures at Liptice (Map C letters Li - Benes i987a). Except in the rare case of a cemetery at Brestany (Map C letters B n- K outeckY 1987) and traces of cemetery at Jenisuv-Ujezd, sites of this period display settlement features such as tens or even hundreds of storage pits or other sunken construction. T he studies published by Z d. Smrz (cf. his article in this volume) in recent years have contributed fundamental evidence on the mechanism of the m icro-mobility of settlement in terms of specific macro-sites of the Late and Final Bronze Ages (the Knoviz- and Stitary-culture periods) in a similar micro-region of the LuzickY -potok. The author, who has observed settlement transfers by some 2000 metres after every 150-200 years has chosen the term "rotation" for his model. He assumes that the area of sites of the and Stitary-culture fell into the range of 3-6 hectares. As his model is dynamic and records changes in time and space, the t ime when it can be used to test other landscape segments with the aim of estabilishing or reject ing its general appl icability to a given Central European landscape type is actually approaching. Out of this follows the necessity to compare his territory with that of Lomsky-potok and to test his model. Let us review the basic data for the sites of the BD - HB period in the project area. Thirteen sites have been recorded, including nine in the TEP area . In addition to one independent cemetery (Map C, letters Bn ), six m ajor settlement sites which only rarely exceed 6-7 hectares in area, and which thus conform to the reference points given by Z. Smrz (1987 ), have been ident ified. In addition, sites with less numerous finds of a settlement nature have also been registered. Z. Smrz has noted these, giving them the neutral title of, nsettlement-activity spots".
182

Lomsky-potok are situated some 1000 metres apart, quite like the E part of the Luzicty-potok. Apeculiarity of the Lomsty-potok seems to be the clustering of Late Bronze sites of the lower course S of the watercourse. The question how far the same spatiotemporal dynamics operating on the Luzicky-potok will be working here is of cardinal importance. La Tene period. The existence of a well-known La Tene cemetery in the project area created a unique opportunity for the study of this prehistoric period. The importance of this cemetery (Map D letter J), which, with its 132 graves, represents one of the best groups in Central Europe (Waldhauser et al. 1978), is enhanced by its integration into a broadly planned network of settlement and cemetery sites. Both these functional categories of La Tene monuments occur in relatively equal number, and this opens the way to the solution of questions of major importance. In addition to this extensive necropolis, smaller groups of 13 graves have been excavated at the "crossing" site (Map Dletter K, Bubenik-Velimsky 1986) and at Libkovice (Map 0 letter L, 5 graves to date, excavation by M. Oobes). Together with other finds of a funerary nature, this assemblage creates favourable conditions for the study of demographic questions . I wish to put forward here a rather intuitive proposal to the effect that most of the identified burial sites display limited grave numbers and that they are likely to be a manifestation of the burial practices among limited kinship groups, as in the unetice culture of the Early Bronze Age. I think that an extensive cemetery with 132 graves is, in terms of the project area, an anomaly which yields evidence on social processes relating the break up of tribal society (on this cf. Holodnak - Waldhauser 1987 with ref.). A close connection between cemetery and settlement sites is natural. We may say at present that settlements of the La Tene period which left the mostly easily-identifiable pithouses were small in area. This is convincingly shown by the author'S excavations at Jenisuv-Ujezd (Benes 1987b) and at Hrdlovka, as well as by excavations by other authors (Salac 1984, Bubenik and Velimsky 1986). Avaluable contribution to the project is the construction of sequences for settlement pottery, developed for the settlement at Brezanky (Salac 1984). The sites of Jenisuv-Ujezd 18 - farska zahrada (The Vicarage Garden) and Uhrbitova (By the Cemetery, Map 0 letter F) may serve as a model. It seems that the complete sequence of La Tene culture has been recorded here. The very limited number of pit houses, rarely greater than the value of 10 - 15, implies that at a certain period of time, no more than 1 - 2 serviceable habitation structures were occupied together at a given site. This indicates landscape utilization through a pattern of dispersed farmsteads. It may be estimated at present that on the same side of a creek, these were 800 - 1500 metres apart and, when on opposite sides, 450 - 500 metres apart. The areas taken up by La Tene sites amount to 6-7 hectares at most given the extremely low number and density of features. The internal dynamics of superior structural units on the macro-site level remains - represents together with demographic questions - one of the key problems of the whole project concerning the La Tene period. It may now be added briefly that other archeological periods also constitute - or will constitute - the subject of independent studies. Corded-ware culture cemeteries and other Eneolithic periods are being investigated (Buchvaldek - Velimsky 1987; at present, M. Oobes is working in this direction). Studies of the "Roman age" have begun (M. Ernee), and significant progress has been made in studies of the Early and Late Middle Ages (cf. the contribution of P. Meduna in this volume). Aresearch project to study a small, enclosed region may, in the future, serve as a model for testing archeological parameters in other selected areas of Bohemia, which now demand meaningful study in their own right (Kuna 1989) and which, as we firmly hope, may contribute to the elevation of Czechoslovak archeology to a qualitatively higher level.
