This paper is presenting the recent discovery of the FBC longhouses at Líbeznice in Central Bohemia. The rescue excavation, carried out during motorway bypass construction produced evidence of more than ten ground plans of FBC longhouses and their remains.
According to the finds associated with the houses, it is possible to date the houses to the Salzmunde phase of the FBC. Analogical finds are very rare in Bohemia.
In Central Europe, there is only a limited number of similar examples from Poland, the Saale Region and Lower Saxony but overall numerous examples of FBC houses are known. It is likely that the longhouses with post construction were the most prevalent type of dwelling throughout the Neolithic/Copper Age in Central Europe, even if evidence of them is very limited for some periods.
