Geofyzikální průzkum mohylového pohřebiště Javor-Hádky (k. ú. Milínov, okr. Rokycany)

Abstract

The article presents the results of a geohysical survey undetaken with the use of cesium magnetometer on the site with burial mounds Javor-Hádky (region of Rokycany). The survey focused on the western part of the burial ground, where there was identified an empty space among the mounds. The survey was supposed to resolve the issue of why this space is present. The survey revealed several magnetic anomalies, which can represent sunken features. They are mainly linear features, which were interpreted as the remains of roads or water channels. Other anomalies proved the existence of the now disappeared mound bank. The interpretation of other anomalies is uncertain. The results demonstrate the advantages of the use of a non-destructive archaeological survey using geophysical prospection for gaining further information about the spatial structure of burial mound cemeteries.
