Archaeological methods and building-historical research are currently used to study the history of the industrialisation of the Ostrava-Karviná agglomeration (The Czech Republic, part of the Upper Silesian coal basin). Their significance is especially great in researching the construction development of mining areas that exist today only in the form of selective protected fragments of the original state or have survived after the decline of mining only in archaeological form, and archival documentation does not cover their development comprehensively. Detailed knowledge of the surviving parts of these sites is essential in the search for their new use in the form of conversions. Selected excavations of mining areas will be presented, where the acquired knowledge has been, or will be, applied in the context of heritage conservation. Special attention will be paid to the research of the town Karviná, which disappeared as a result of coal mining in the second half of the 20th century, where archaeological methods significantly help to describe the current situation of this area and define its values. Forming a new identity for the post-mining region of Karviná is not easy. This is reflected in the current social discussion, where on the one hand it is seen as a brownfield with no limits for further use, while professional institutions and a part of the public strive for the conservation of the local landscape. It should be preserved as a typical reference site for the impact of fossil fuel extraction on the environmental and economical and social structures.
