MSM 4977751314, supported by the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports of the Czech Republic, Gojda-Vařeka et al. 2005–2010). This project represents at the present time the leading topic of interest of the entire Department of Archaeology of the University of West Bohemia in Pilsen (Gojda 2005). Due to the intensive combination of theoretical and practical archaeological questions and methods, this project also provides wide opportunities for the education, practice and training of students in our department as archaeologists.

Those found in the Czech Republic range in date over the Neolithic, Eneolithic, Bronze Age, Iron Age, Roman, and early medieval periods. Many of these sites have long been familiar in the landscape, but more have been identified or studied during various archaeological survey projects (e.g., Gojda et al. 2004; Křivanek 2004). They vary in size from 0.1–0.5 ha to 100–200 ha. They offer important information on the key roles they performed in each period: military bases, settlement, industry, trade, communications, agriculture, burial, cult, or other activities.

Different stages of geophysical measurements at the site of the early medieval hillfort near Tismice have been carried out under various circumstances of archaeological study in the area. The total full‐area magnetometer survey of all agricultural areas of the hillfort produced new spatial information for subsequent archaeological research of the supra‐regional Slavic centre from before the demise of the Slavník dynasty and the rise of the Přemyslids.

Použitím výše zmíněných metod na moravském oppidu Staré Hradisko (okr. Prostějov) byly upřesněny a doplněny stávající poznatky o osídlení na ploše západně od opevnění. Významný je objev dosud neznámé klešťovité brány ve východní části opevnění spolu s navazujícím fortifikačním systémem obepínajícím severní část oppida.
