Archeologický výzkum vodních mlýnů: výsledky, perspektivy

Abstract

Contribution presents outcomes of some of the most important archaeological researches of the Middle Age and Modern Age mills in the Czech Lands and also presents chosen researches in Germany and Poland. It has been found out on basis of recent investigation that appearance of the mills is dependent on natural conditions and regional cultural standards and so it is very complicated to set a generally valid model of a mill. It is possible to set several generally valid principles with higher frequency in rural environment only. Furthermore, contribution focuses on future of archaeological research, especially of use of the non-destructive methods.
