Germánské osídlení v době římské
The Germanic Settlement in the Roman Age

Summary/Abstract: The submitted text deals with an evaluation of finds and features dated to the Roman Age and the Great Migrations Period. They were acquired by rescue excavations carried out in 2008–2011 at Obříství municipal in Mělník district. The settlement from the Roman Period constitutes one of the most impressive sites in the region, and from it, we were able to observe distinct traces of both continuity and change in the course of the first four centuries AD. Although excavations revealed only settlement and production features, archival sources informed us of funerary activities in the vicinity of the revealed area as well. Older and newer excavations show that early occupancy (phases A through B1) in the Obříství cadastre is concentrated to the east of the discussed area, closer to the Elbe river, since territory near the municipality’s centre represents later inhabitation: phases B2 and C1. The chronologically latest features document the continuation of settlement activities until the 4th century (phase C3), or possibly up to the 5th century (phases D1–D2).
