Description This paper presents an archaeological method for detection of market exchange using the pottery as an archaeologically well visible representative of former quotidian goods. The assemblage from the 9th-century Moravian centre at Staré Město near Uherské Hradiště was evaluated by archaeometric methods (XRF, petrography, XRD) and resulted in the detection of a complex exchange network connecting the centre with multiple parts of its hinterland. Results thus support the previously defined hypothesis about integration of the centre into a regional market system, and helps to refine the knowledge about the degree of commercialization of the period regional economy.
