TY - JOUR ID - 1122767 AU - Macháček, Jiří PY - 2013 TI - Great Moravian Central Places and their Practical Function, Social Significance and Symbolic Meaning PB - Verlag des Römisch-Germanischen Zentralmuseums CY - Mainz SN - 9783884672129 KW - archeology KW - Great Moravia KW - central places KW - Early Middle Ages N2 - This paper focuses on practical function, social significance and symbolic meaning of early medieval central places from the East-Central Europe, in particular from the area of so-called Great Moravia, which was a important (pre-)state formation on the eastern periphery of the Frankish Empire. It is argued that the vast local agglomerations were not mere military forts, but very complex centres – genuine civitates or urbs of Moravian Slavs as they are mentioned in Royal Frankish Annals. Only rarely can we identify the settlements known from Carolingian written sources with specific places. Although the majority eludes localization, we assume that the place names given in the written sources refer to some of the rich archaeological sites explored by archaeologists over the last 50 years in the Czech Republic. The most important ones are Mikulčice, Staré Město and Pohansko near Břeclav. ER -
