Detailed Information on Publication Record

The first part of the article touches on the important personality of Lumír Jisl, his great contributions to the post war restoration of Silesian archaeology and opinions on its new role. Above all, his numerous articles in the Journal of the Silesian Museum (ČSZM) are evidence of his unceasing diligence in the restoration of the museum‘s archaeological site destroyed by the war, and their concept as well as specific focus point to the final goal – to grasp the Czech part of the upper Odra River Catchment (of Czech Silesia), from the archaeology perspective, as a unified area („Silesia“) with uniformly organized research. The first practical step towards this, and together with the recapitulation input, should be a synthesis of the prehistory of this (Silesian) area. The second part of the article attempts to describe the nature and role of contributions with a predominantly archaeological topic, published in the ČSZM since its foundation in 1951. On this basis, the magazine‘s existence up to now is to be evaluated and the authors‘ opinion on the direction its strategy should take in the future is to be specified. A list of relevant papers is attached.
