Summary/Abstract: The Czech Archaeological Club was founded in 1910 as a counterpart of the Moravian Archaeological Club, primarily to strengthen the subscriber base of the Moravian magazine Pravěk. Its chairman was Prof. Jindřich Matiegka. In 1912, the club organised a joint congress of Czech and Moravian archaeologists in Prague, but otherwise it was only weakly active and did not reach the importance of the older archaeological organisations in Bohemia (the Archaeological Corps of the National Museum and the Prehistoric Department of the Society of Friends of Czech Antiquities). Because of disagreements with the publisher of Pravěk, Innocenc Ladislav Červinka, and because of changed conditions in Czech archaeology after the death of Prof. Josef Ladislav Píč, the club disbanded in 1913.
