Abstract
The main subject of this study is a survey and evaluation of field fortifications located in Nebesa near Aš (Karlovy Vary Region, Czech Republic). Although the site was already surveyed in 2019, following earlier surveys between 1980 and 1984, it is still not possible to link it to a particular military event in the second half of the 18th century.
The ceramic assemblage recovered is extremely heterogeneous in terms of typology, morphology and chronology. The assemblage mostly consists of vessels which cannot for the most part be connected to civil activities (forest work) and the deposition of waste in the trench area after the period the fortifications were in use.
