Survey of abandoned roads running under the Urnfield hillfort in the cadastral area of Kladky in the Prostějov region

Abstract

From the surroundings of the Late Bronze Age fortified settlement in the cadastral area of Kladky (Olomouc region, Czech Republic) near the old sunken lanes, a small collection of objects dating from the Early Middle Ages to the Early Modern Period was discovered. Due to their wide chronological range, artefacts are most likely related to traffic on these roads that are no longer in use.
