Anotace: This paper summarises the results of an investigation from the former oxbow lake near the village

Náklo. The study profile (“Náklo – Under the church”) is situated near an archaeological site which
is important due to the presence of pile constructions and a deposit of bronze vessels from the
Halstatt Period. The study focused on the plant macroremains and xylotomy analysis. Only a few
plant macroremains studies from lowland wetland sites are notable for the documented presence of archeophytes in central Europe. Our study confirmed long-term human impact and the important influence of human activities on the alluvial floodplain vegetation, especially during the Late Bronze Age and Hallstat Period. Our analysis of wood enabled the presence of alluvial forest with dominance of Salix, Populus, Alnus, and Ulmus to be reconstructed
