Abstract

The rescue excavations of archaeologists from the Prague City museum in the 80s of the XX. century, on the newly discovered sites of Ruzyně and Jinonice, yielded not only important new knowledge about find complexes and the organisation and structure ofLa Tène cemeteries, what enhanced further research of social structure of the societies having buried there, but also gave new possibilities of mutual comparison of both contemporary sites. New findings about the local societies of 4.-3. centrury BCE and their world allow to follow their culture not only int he material sphere, but also the sphere of art, to solve issues of group identity, and to study mutual relationships of both sites on the local and supraregional level.
