SN 02316056
AB Analysis of a large, functionally structured settlement stratigraphy, excavated in the SW corner of Malostranske square lead to characteristics of rare timber roads fragments from the end of the 9th to the end of the 11th century. Timber road surfaces were partially preserved in several levels, their direction was greatly modified with time. The newly discovered cumulation of roads was, in its period, in a strategic position in front of the fortification of the early medieval town. In the vicinity of the site, an entrance possibly existed according to previous research, probably a gate into the fortified suburbium centre, described in the 10th century as "the Prague town."
