A large prehistorical agglomeration, stretched along the Vltava river meander in the north western part of Prague, is an example of a densely and continually occupied territory with outstandingly rich archaeological evidence from almost all periods. Local Iron age development went through a Hallstatt period settlement accompanied with a burial containing a ceremonial wagon, a 4th - 3rd cent BC site abundant in well furnished graves and a late La Tène agglomeration, covering an area of 40 ha.
Without a significant gap, an Early Roman period settlement with rich graves and evidence of intensive craft production was established there. Presented poster is related to the topic of lowland centres within the Iron age landscape in Bohemia.
Such sites underwent various interpretational shifts and transformations, and are still the key source in the general discussion on the settlement structure. The in-depth diachronic look that Prague-Bubeneč offers is a rare possibility to reflect the dynamics of an organically developed lowland central site.
Its background constitutes evidence of rich surrounding landscape with tens of burial sites, settlements and the oppidum Závist on the opposite part of the Prague basin. Main focus will be given to the on-site development, its economical features, endurance through various Iron age transformations and its possible role in the surrounding Iron age landscape.
