Abstract
This paper focuses on analysis of a find collection obtained in the course of traditional field work conducted in the year 1950. This collection consists of so far unevaluated finds coming from excavations conducted by Rudolf Turek on the inner bailey of the Libice nad Cidlinou stronghold (district Nymburk).
This study clearly illustrates interpretation possibilities of a find collection obtained during archaeological excavations conducted in the half of the last century. The analysis contributes to our understanding of patterns and development of the Early Mediaeval settlement on the inner bailey, and it is largely relying on the criticism of a hypothesis defined by R.
