We found 11th-century rampart relics below the later #medieval motte castle mound.
And we have to wait for the analyses, especially the radiocarbon dating, to draw more conclusions. This will take until the beginning of next year.

There are still eight pages to be drawn, as well as the cover picture. 54 finished.

Some scenes:
The investiture of St Adalbert as bishop of Prague.
The prayer of St Adalbert near a Romanesque round church.
The martyrdom of St. Adalbert.

The cathedral's most important medieval monument is the 12th-century Romanesque bronze doors. They are decorated with scenes from the life of St Adalbert.

Late Gothic portals were also made from artificial stone.

The cathedral was restored and regothicised after the Second World War.
The rich late Gothic sculpture decoration of the pillars' capitals and the vaults' ribs was made of artificial stone - was cast in a special mortar. This was a cheap and efficient solution in areas lacking proper stone.

This particular burial is quite typical of the period. It's a nice find, but probably not groundbreaking.

It must change! Statistically, younger generations are taller.

She was buried in a way that shows Christian customs had been adopted in the funeral rites, albeit with local modifications. While the cause of her death at a young age is unknown, we do know that her relatives prepared a dignified burial for her.
Research have only begun to shed light on this.

In addition, two S-shaped temple rings, typical head ornaments worn by Western Slavic women, were found close to the heavily damaged skull.
So, this was the burial of a young woman. She was buried shallowly, which is typical of this cemetery.

This is a fragment of an iron knife in a leather sheath that was reinforced and decorated with bronze fittings. Such sheaths were particularly popular among the Western Slavs in the 11th–12th centuries. This one is in extremely poor condition. Conservators will have their work cut out for them.

This was an exception to the medieval pan-European custom of burying the dead west oriented, so that they could see Christ returning to the Earth from the east on the Day of Resurrection.
The grave contained ornaments and personal items.
Here is a ring:

The skeleton was in a poor state of preservation due to ploughing and bioturbation. The tibia of the left lower limb is not visible in the photograph, but it was found slightly deeper down.
It was arranged on a W-E axis, with the skull on the east side, which is typical of 11th-13th c in Poland.
