Detailed Information on Publication Record

The article presents the results of archaeological rescue excavation, which was situated in the northtern part of historic center of Mohelnice, on Svobody Square no. 931/22, on the back of plot no. 34. This location is near the presumed bishop’s residence on the eastern edge of Church Square (in written sources mentioned as a house or castle). The Slavic settlement named Mogilnici can be found in written sources as early as 1141, but the town was founded here sometime before 1273 perhaps before the first half of the 13th century. During archaeological excavation in 2014, situations of the colonization horizon were probably found. There were discovered substantial parts of two wooden-clay basements. Their destructive backfills contained pottery dating to after the middle of the 13th century. One of the basement was disturbed by younger waste pits, whose backfills contained representative sets of ceramics, dated approximately to the turn of 13/14th century, no later than the first half of the 14th century. Another four pits and several sunken objects, which can be dated to the course of the 14th century, were also captured in the excavated area. This is evidenced by the change in the organization of urban plots (plot?) in the last quarter of the 13th century, when the originally residential part became a sanitary and production part, as the defunct houses were soon replaced by the waste pits. This change is probably related to the reorganization of the primary functioning of the original location plots in the city in general, for example in connection with the transformation of the pre-location settlement connected to the bishop’s district into an institutional city, which took place during the second half of the 13th century. Alternatively, it may reflect the decline in the importance of the bishop’s residence at the beginning of the 14th century, when at least part of it came into use by the town bailiff.
