| Description | The remains of a defunct medieval fishpond were discovered in the basin of the Bukovský potok stream, between the villages of Střítež and Habří, during a geological survey in the 1990s. Subsequent research in 2015 and 2016 provided details not only about the previously unknown medieval pond but also, thanks to the well-preserved environmental record, about the settlement process and the development of the wider landscape from prehistory to the modern age. This paper seeks to summarize the results of the field survey and to set them in the historical context of the emergence of the local high-medieval settlement. |
