  • Hungarian Archaeology E-Journal • 2018 Summer
    HUNGARIAN ARCHAEOLOGY E-JOURNAL • 2018 SUMMER www.hungarianarchaeology.hu INVESTMENTS FOR TOURISTIC PURPOSES AT ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITES AND HISTORICAL MONUMENTS Dóra Hegyi – Zsófia NáDai The 20th conference of the European Archaeological Council (EAC) was held in Ireland in February 2019. The meeting took place in Dublin Castle and focused on the proper management of monuments and archae- ological sites as well as the possibilities of presenting them to the wider public.1 For years, discussions on monument protection in the EAC symposiums have focused on the problems posed by the relationship of archaeology to investments. Cultural tourism is a critical issue, in which the interests and needs of these two fields meet—or clash. In Hungary, this is most conspicuous in connection with the so-called heritage developments undertaken within the framework of the National Program for Castles and Fortresses, coor- dinated by the National Heritage Protection and Development Ltd (in Hungarian: Nemzeti Örökségvédelmi és Fejlesztési Nkft, NÖF). Two sites, Sárospatak and Szabadkígyós, are presented in this paper as examples of archaeological research projects undertaken in preparation for the further development of an area. The period after WWII is traditionally viewed as the golden age of monument protection; both its institu- tional and legal framework were progressive even in a European comparison. However, the considerable success of this era is somewhat shadowed by its negative consequences, which remained unaddressed after the political regime change following the collapse of the soviet system. Transformations made necessary by the changing functions of sites, in-building, the division of these areas, as well as the lack of proper professional management has had an impact on the sites.

Are you craving for the medieval mysteries and unforgettable impressions, exciting trips and new discoveries? Welcome to Belarus! It is often called “the country of castles”. The first stone fortresses appeared here in the XIIth century! The tower of Kamenets rising on the western border of Belarus has been an amazing example of the beauty and grace for more than 7 centuries. Mir and Nesvizh castles included into the UNESCO World Heritage list are stunning and unique constructions. Brest fortress walls remember lots of historic events – tragic as well as fascinating. In this edition we present the most interesting objects of the defense architecture of Belarus. However there are far more of them than this brochure can include.

  • Gabriela Blažková — Jan Frolík — Josef Matiášek the Golden Lane in the Light of the Archaeological and Historic Evidence
    Staletá Praha 34, 2/2018, 50-68 Gabriela Blažková — Jan Frolík — Josef Matiášek The Golden Lane in the light of the archaeological and historic evidence ANNOTATION According to recent research the historic and the archaeological evidence of the Golden Lane at Prague Castle complement each other rather than overlap. Archaeology documented in the Lane mainly concerns its earlier building development including the period prior Rudolf II. The social aspect of the inhabitants could not be inferred from the archaeological artefacts since the waste material was deposited outside the Lane, most probably in the Jelení (Deer) Ditch. The multi-layered street, as indicated by the pottery evaluation, was formed from other parts of the Prague Castle. The documentary evidence and the plans mainly from the 17th and 18th centuries allow following the development of still standing buildings as well as the demolished structures; they provide considerable detail concerning property relations and building modifications, and illustrate the social status of the inhabitants of the Lane. SUMMARY The Golden Lane is situated in the area of the late medieval Zwinger in the northeast corner of the Prague Castle, delimited by two battery towers: Daliborka on the east and Bílá (White) Tower on the west end of Prague Castle. The entrance into the Lane lies between the No. 11 and 30. Geomorphologically the Lane lies on the northern edge of the castle promontory, which slowly slopes down towards Opyš in the east and drops vertically down to the ravine of the Brusnice stream in the Jelení ditch on the north. The presumed line of the promontory ridge runs in the southern neighbourhood of the Lane.
