However, the interpretation of the early medieval history of the region has always been a delicate matter. The written sources concerningMoravia do not lend themselves easily to historical interpretation. As a consequence, they have often been invoked not just for academic, but also for political debates. For modern state ideologies to effectively exploit the historical heritage of Great Moravia, two conditions must be met. First, there should be absolutely no doubt as to whether Great Moravia encompassed precisely those territories now within the borders of the states claiming to be its direct heirs. Second, firm evidence of politically advanced structures of power is required in order to justify both the name of state and continuity to the modern age. The goal of this paper is to prove these premises on the basis of the archaeological evidence ER -
