The paper presents the results of the investigation of two Middle Bronze Age features from the Opava–Vávrovice site, uncovered during a rescue excavation carried out by the Institute of Archaeology of the Czech Academy of Sciences in 2019–2020. The analysis of the ceramic assemblage, including storage vessel fragments, clay weights, and daub, indicates an affiliation with the Middle Danubian Tumulus Culture. Among the most significant finds is a boat-shaped bowl with a spout and handle, representing the first evidence of this ceramic type in Czech Upper Silesia. The study contributes to a better understanding of the settlement structure of the region during the Middle Bronze Age, the continuity of occupation between the Věteřov group and the Lusatian culture, and suggests possible cultural connections with the Middle Danube and Mediterranean regions.
