Fortified settlements or ceremonial sites: new evidence from Bylany, Czechoslovakia
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 January 2015
Extract
Recent work at the important Neolithic site of Bylany (Czechoslovakia) has shifted from the large-scale open-area excavations of the 1960s to intensive field survey and selective excavation. The 1991 investigation concentrated on the so-called ‘Rondel’, a multivallate enclosure with entrances at the cardinal points. Analysis of the internal structures revealed suggests that the main function of these features was ceremonial.
