| Description | In 2016 there were two rescue archaeological researches on the built-up area of the village Ořechov near Uherské Hradiště during which archaeologists succeeded in finding and documenting archaeological situations with the evidence of the settlement of Linear Pottery Culture. While the situation 1 lies right in the village square and is dated back into the younger period of Linear Pottery Culture, the second one was discovered during the reconstruction of the road in the south-east Ořechov and chronologically it can be dated into the oldest period of Linear Pottery Culture phase Ia (cf. Tichý 1962; Čižmář 1998). This is suggested not only by overall coarse surface of pottery with a strong organic ingredient but also by some analogies in shape and decoration scale of the vessels. For example, the find of double-conical vessels provided with oval horizontally prolonged protrusion on the maximum hollow can be praised. We know the same ceramic shapes from the settlements of the oldest farmers, for example in Brno-Ivančice (Čižmář, fig. 1:1), Spytihněv (Schenk et al. 2008, 284, fig. 24), Kládníky (Peška–Bém 1999, 279; Schenk 2007) or in Žopy (Tichý 1960, 418, fig. 4). As for shape sizes the oldest linear pottery is characteristic with vessels on stems even though there was only an indirect evidence of them in the observed collection. On the basis of some analogies (Čižmář 1998, fig. 1:10) the above mentioned smaller bowl decorated with a little protrusion could be provided with the stem. It is also necessary to mention the lack of note decoration the predecessors of which could be solitary oval holes as found in Ořechov (Čižmář 1998, 107–108). Other chronologically sensitive feature is undoubtedly the existence of linear decoration in the form of wider and deeper grooves (Tichý 1960, 424) which were identified in the torsos of rectilinear and curvilinear motifs. Old linear period typologically also corresponds with a discovered hoof shaped wedge (Vencl 1960). Chronology of the locality will be definitively specified on the basis of radiocarbon dating of the samples. The research of a cultural layer and one countersunk object in the locality Ořechov II provided archaeologists with a collection of fragments of the clay mixed with chaff some of which bear the prints of the construction mad of rods and also fragments of hand grinders made of local lime stones. Even though it was possible to prove the continuity of settlement in the valley of Ořechov brook the important locality for further research is the one of Ořechov II which, if positively anchored in the frame of absolute chronology, could become an important reference collection documenting settlements of the first farmers in the middle reaches of the river Morava. |
