Anotace:
The care of archaeological monuments in the region of central Moravia is presently fulfilled throughthe activities of the Archaeological Centre Olomouc. The centre was founded on January 1st, 2003 with the goal of saving the important parts of a disappearing cultural heritage. It thus takes care of archaeological rescue excavations caused by various construction works. It records and documents archaeological actions, finds and findspots, stores the finds during their technical and professional processing, and then presents the excavation results to professionals along with the non-professional public. It also cooperates with other archaeological or cultural organizations and academic institutions. Research activities are also focused on the interpretation of particular historical events in individual societies using the data obtained by archaeological excavation. The centre applies the same theoretical approach to all the many other disciplines it incorporates in its work. Using the methods of several disciplines enables the integration of data and research cooperation in studies of settlement in particular regions in the past. The criteria for such interdisciplinary research are described in this article. The Archaeological Centre Olomouc, therefore, offers the creation of a platform for interdisciplinary cooperation between experts from various disciplines that concerns direct cooperation in field research and the modelling of reconstruction procedures involving settlement and funerary activities.
