Charcoal houses and other possible archaeological relics on the slopes between Chrábek and Sloupečník creeks in cadastral areas of Ráječko and Petrovice

Alena Knechtová, Leoš Vašek, Martin Hložek

The article reports on the second phase of a research project whose aim was the utilization of evaluated data from airborne laser scanning (ALS) as part of a nondestructive visual field survey of minor archaeological relics in the landscape, in this particular case the charcoal houses on the slopes around the creeks Chrábek and Sloupečník in the wooded area of the Drahany Highlands in the cadastral areas of Ráječko and Petrovice. These map documents from lidar data were used to identify new archaeological relics that have not yet been identified in the landscape. For some charcoal houses, microprobes for coal samples were carried out in places where they were disturbed and were presented for evaluation. During visual prospecting, a field detector survey of the charcoal houses and their immediate surroundings was also carried out; this survey produced metal findings which were detected by GPS devices and presented for subsequent laboratory processing.
