Archaeology in the city: The presentation of movable archaeological finds in situ.

Milan Jančo

The article is devoted to movable archaeological findings presented on the site where they were discovered. These are isolated cases in which objects found in excavations remain in the interiors of historic or new buildings. Occasionally they are presented in public places. The second part of the article addresses the presentation of movable archaeological finds in Clermont-Ferrand (France). Column-like metal display cases form part of the furnishings of public spaces in the city. Through the presentation of these findings, the residents and visitors of the city can become acquainted with the history of the specific places where they were found, from late antiquity to modern times.
