Abstract
In 1995, during a rescue excavation in the form of test pits in the churchyard at the St. Bartholomew's church in Kyje (today, district Prague 14), a total of seven graves dating from the last third of the 18th century to the first half of the 19th century were investigated along with prehistoric situations.
The finds include five crosses: a rosary cross, so-called credo-cross, with the motif of a crown, palm branches and crossing inscriptions CREDO and OPBNP, a wooden hand-held cross for the dying, a brass pilgrim's crosslet from Mariazell, a larger brass crucifix and a remnant of a lead corpus broken off from an all-lead cross.
