| Description | The metal detector aided surface survey of the up to the present sterile area of Nová Sídla (Svitavy district, Pardubice region) yielded an assemblage of almost a hundred metal artefacts. Apart from several prehistoric items, the assemblage consists from craft and agricultural tools, articles of personal use, and militaria, dated to the Middle Ages and the Modern Period. No intact archaeological situations were detected during the survey, and the objects were found in the subsoil or in the forest humus layer. The depositional context of the chronologically very heterogeneous assemblage shows that it must be interpreted as a result of longterm activities related with communication that left no visible vestiges in the terrain into the present. |
