The fortified complex on Mount Vladař is distinguished by the scenic dominance of the mountain and also by the large size of the complex. A key component of the excavations to date has been the use of paleoecological methods, for whose application the site pro- vides very good conditions.

Above all, the stratified wetland contexts at two locations make Vladař an exceptional site. A marshy pond was discovered in the summit area and additional wooden cisterns were found in a spring-fed area within the fortified, Halstatt to Latène period settlement foreground.

As part of an international research project, the fifth century timber-lined cistern in the settlement foreground has been investigated and pre- served.
