Olomouc) Lukáš Hlubek ABSTRACT Prehistoric and Early Medieval Settlement in the Territories of the Village of Senice na Hané (Olomouc District) The survey describes the development of the prehistoric and early medieval settlement in the territory of the village of Senice na Hané. It will present archaeological findings collected from the beginning of the 20th century up to the latest discoveries from the recent period. The second part of the contribution deals with particular prehistoric and medieval periods as documented in the described territory. KEY WORDS: Senice na Hané, history of research, survey of prehistoric and early medieval settlement Přírodní podmínky Obec Senice na Hané leží 9 km jižně od města Litovle a 12 km západně od Olomouce. Nalezneme ji mezi městysem Náměšť na Hané a obcí Dubčany. Vesnicí prochází silnice z Li- tovle do Prostějova a nachází se zde železniční stanice dvou lokálních drah – z Olomouce do Litovle a z Olomouce do Prostějova. Geomorfologicky náleží větší část sledovaného území k Prostějovské pahorkatině a do západní části katastru zasahují výběžky Bouzovské vrcho- viny.1 Nejvyšším bodem na katastru je vrch Bořík s nadmořskou výškou 340 m. Svrchní hor- ninový pokryv na popisovaném území představují v rovinatých částech především naváté (eolické) sedimenty – známé spraše, na jejichž bázi se vyvinuly úrodné půdy. Čtvrtohorního stáří jsou i další, méně zastoupené sedimenty (štěrky, písky, hlíny). V okolí vodních toků se nacházejí nivní sedimenty a hornatější části katastrů jsou tvořeny jílovitými břidlicemi, prachovci a drobou. Nadmořská výška se v popisované oblasti pohybuje od 230 do 340 m. Skrze Senici na Hané protéká říčka Blata, která pramení poblíž obcí Vilémov a Bílsko a vlévá se u Lobodic do řeky Moravy. Stopy pravěkého a středověkého osídlení zaznamenáváme především v rovinatějších částech katastrů v nevelké vzdálenosti od říčky Blaty [obr. 1]. Historie bádání Vlastní počátky zájmu o archeologii na Litovelsku jsou spojeny s osobou MUDr. Jana Smyčky (1855–1927),2 zakladatele litovelského muzea. Ten ještě roku 1903 uváděl, že z okolí Senice na Hané jsou známy jen ojedinělé nálezy a dosud se nepodařilo zjistit „větší naleziště“, jejichž objevení bude úkolem budoucího bádání.3 Ale už v roce 1912 publikoval 5 Obr. 1. Archeologické lokality na katastru obce Senice na Hané: 1 – intravilán obce pozemek domu čp. 56; 2 – intravilán obce pozemek domu čp. 85; 3 – trať „Tratě“; 4 – obecní hliník; 5 – trať „Loučan- ské“; 6 – trať „Na baště“; 7 – Loucká hora; 8 – Vrch Bořík. Výřez ze ZM 1:25 000, list 24-221 a 24-223. první doklady pravěkého osídlení na sledovaném katastru ve svých novinových článcích. Největší množství materiálu pochází z Loucké hory jižně až jihozápadně od obce. Zde byly na několika parcelách objeveny popelnice se spálenými kostmi a při prohlubování silnice ze Senice do Loučan se podařilo narazit na železné podkovy a podélný objekt, z jehož obsahu J. Smyčka zmiňuje dvě kuličky, kosti a střepiny nádob.4 Značný podíl na záchraně archeologického materiálu měl rovněž učitel Leopold Klemsa, který velmi aktiv- ně shromažďoval nálezy z okolí obce. Některé z nich si ponechal (např. denár nalezený na své zahradě), jiné věnoval do Městského muzea v Litovli. Nové doklady o pobytu pravěkého člověka v dané lokalitě byly získány až v 50. letech 20. století. Při stavbě kravína JZD narazili dělníci na tři kostrové a jeden žárový hrob kul- tury zvoncovitých pohárů z konce pozdní doby kamenné. Kromě hrobů bylo nalezeno několik vrcholně středověkých střepů.5 Roku 1958 správce litovelského muzea prof. Ka- rel Sedlák publikoval nález denáru Spytihněva II. (1048–1054), který mu k tomuto účelu zapůjčil L. Klemsa.6 Ve stejné době Vlastivědnému ústavu v Olomouci (dnes Vlastivědné muzeum v Olomouci) odevzdal p. Š. Stanislav silný okrajový střep středověké zásobnice.7 Bohužel na počátku 60. let 20. století byla předána celá sbírka litovelského měst- ského muzea Vlastivědnému ústavu v Olomouci,8 kde se stala součástí jednotlivých fondů. Archeologické nálezy litovelského muzea byly zapsány do archeologické podsbírky pod přírůstkovým číslem 90/76 a dodnes je část z nich evidovaná pouze v I. stupni evidence. Další materiál se nachází pod přírůstkovým číslem 1240/70, pod nímž jsou evidovány střepy z období popelnicových polí a mladší doby železné, o jejichž přes- nější lokalizaci na katastru nemáme žádné zmínky. Archeologické výzkumy na Litovel- sku měli od 60. let 20. století zajišťovat pracovníci Archeologického

Kantvilas Department of Botany, University of Tasmania ABSTRACT KANTVILAS, G., 1983 (31 viii): A brief history of lichenology in Tasmania. Pap. PY'OC. R. Soc. Tasm., 117: 41-51. https://doi.org/10.26749/rstpp.117.41 ISSN 0080-4703. Department of Botany, University of Tasmania, Hobart, Tasmania, Australia. The development of lichenology in Tasmania is outlined from the first lichen collec­ tions in the late eighteenth century. Special reference is made to the contributions of J.J. Labillardiere, Robert Brown, Joseph Hooker, Ferdinand von Mueller and F.R.M. Wilson. INTRODUCTION I The term 'lichen literally means eruption or wart. It was first coined in the botanical sense by Theophrastus, a pupil of Aristotle and Plato, who lived in Ancient Greece in 371-284 B.C. (Richardson 1975). Theophrastus included a small number of lichens in his History of Plants, one of the earliest botanical treatises known, and a work which earned him the title of 'Father of Botany'. Subsequent references to lichens occur in many European herbals produced during the next 2000 years, a period in which the study of plants centred around their medicinal properties, both real and imagined. With the development of systematic botany in the late 17th century, lichens were given only scant attention. For example, Linnaeus was no lichenologist despite his achievements in botany as a whole. In fact, he rather despised lichens, calling them 'the poor trash of vegetation' (rustici pauperrimi) (Smith 1921).

The taxa of fungi treated in the series includes members of three kingdoms: the Protoctista (the slime moulds), the Chromista (the chytrids and hyphochytrids) and the Eumycota. The series is intended for university students and interested amateurs, as well as professional mycologists. Volume 1A is one of two introductory volumes to the series. The major component of the volume is a discussion on the classification of the fungi, including a new classification, and keys to orders of worldwide scope. The volume also contains a chapter on the biology of the fungi, chapters on the Australian aspects of the history of mycology, biogeography and the fossil record, and an extensive glossary to mycological terms.
