Reconstruction and presentation of tumuli uncovered in 1936 by O. Eichhorn near Stříbro
As part of the project "Partnership for Archeology", the Museum of West Bohemia in Plzeň conducted the reconstruction of a stone tumulus structure from the Middle Bronze Age which was excavated by O. Eichhorn in 1936 in the Petrský forest near Stříbro on the tumulus necropolis "U Butovské hájovny". The tumuli were preserved in the state they were left in upon completion of the research.
The aim of the project was to carry out inspection archaeological research, reconstruct the original stone tumulus, and present it to the public. An information board was installed on the site which acquaints visitors with the results of the original research and inspection archaeological research and which introduces the findings stored in the Municipal Museum in Stříbro. It also draws attention to other unexamined tumuli in the local vast tumulus burial ground.
