The polycultural site at Prague district Ruzyne revealed an extensive settlement area of the Stroked Pottery Culture. Besides the common settlement features the settlement area contained also a circular ditched enclosure.

Thanks to the analysis of the archaeological findings (pottery sherds above all and 14C analysis) removed from different features can be tracked the development of the site in time. And also thanks to spatial analyzing of the findings and their concentrations we can reflect position of individual settlement features, together with the location of different activities.

The dislocation of such elements as production features, storages and lonhouses we can identify on the site. The settlement area in Prague-Ruzyně itself is exceptional mainly by three important findings: 1.

The circular ditched enclosure 2. Settlement pits with findings of specific fragments of daub, revealing an unusual overground structure 3.

A pit filled with human bones, mostly fragments of skulls. A longtime project deals with detailed analysis of the findings from the settlement to reveal its original layout and time contemporaneity a sequence of individual settlement features.
